BIDEN SPEECH COMMORATING TULSA RACE MASSACRE TO DETAIL EFFORTS TO COMBAT RACIAL INEQUALITYOne of the animating issues on race this year has been voting legislation, both on the state and federal level. Republicans passing state election security laws say they simply aim to ensure elections run more smoothly and with less risk of fraud. But Democrats say ID provisions and other elements of these laws are aimed at undercutting the ability of Black people to vote.

But negotiations over that bill, ostensibly an "infrastructure" plan, have already been going on for weeks with Senate Republicans.
