Democrats in the Senate have won the approval of Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) for a measure that would dramatically overhaul elections.

The new legislation combines elements of an election reform bill proposed by Manchin earlier this year with provisions from the “For the People Act,” also known as S.1, that Senate Republicans blocked in June.
