(Pipe) Dreams Dashed Dept: Thad Cochran Not Supporting Voting Rights Act Fix

Sen. Cochran’s spokesperson tells Greg Sargent:

I asked Cochran spokesman Chris Gallegos for a response. He said Cochran is “listening” to the argument over the new legislation, but directed me back to his previous statement praising the SCOTUS decision. Gallegos also emailed:

It does appear that Tuesday’s election generally went smoothly, even as the state implemented its new voter ID law.  Mississippi election officials deserve credit.  The Senator would concur with Senator Rand Paul, who recently said, “I’m for more people voting, not less people voting.”
