So reports Roll Call in a breaking news report (paid subscription required). You can find details about the proactive bailout proposal, submitted by Rep. Westmoreland, here. I have not seen the trigger proposal, authored by Rep. Norwood, but Roll Call describes it this way: the coverage “formula [would] be modified to take into account the results of the three most recent presidential elections on a rolling basis, rather than the static figures it is now based on. In addition, the new formula would subject any state to Section 5 requirements should it be determined that a state has a ‘discriminatory test’ in place, or if voter turnout falls below 50 percent in any of those three elections.”
The debate is scheduled for Wednesday and the vote for Thursday.
