Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin announced that he will not be supporting H.R. 1, the Democrat-backed election reform bill, although he said he's supportive of many provisions within the legislation.
The West Virginia senator "would not be able to support" the 800-page election overhaul bill, which passed in a party-line vote in the House of Representatives on March 3, he said.
"Every vote should be accessible, it should be secure, and it should be fair. That's the responsibility we have, and [if] the states are subverting that, then we should put guard rails on it," he said on MetroNews, although he did not specify what parts of the bill he doesn't support.
