Senate Democrats are close to an agreement on updated voting rights legislation that can get the support of all 50 Democrats, 3 Democratic aides familiar with negotiations tell NBCNews.
The member level discussions are complete, one source says, but the staff is currently going through the legislative text to fix any technical issues. No further details have been shared yet.
The bill is part of congressional Democrats' broader campaign to strengthen voting laws at the federal level to fight restrictive voting laws passed in Republican-led states, such as Texas and Georgia.
