U.S. Chamber opposes Democratic voting rights bill
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce said on Tuesday it strongly opposes a Democratic-backed bill that is aimed at rewriting U.S. voting law, saying it would punish corporations and associations that engage in political advocacy. Democrats say the bill, which updates voting procedures and requires states to turn over the redrawing of congressional district lines to independent commissions, is needed to overcome Republican efforts to make voting across the country harder. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce said it wants more people brought into the political process but that the bill would have "precisely the opposite effect – pushing certain voices, representing large segments of the electorate and U.S. economy, out of the political process altogether."
