Stacey Abrams: It’s time to make an exception to the filibuster rule
Stacey Abrams writes that nothing is more essential to the durability of our democracy than the ability to vote. Protection of that right has only one champion empowered to make it so -- the US Congress. The House has spoken. Now, she says, the Senate must lead.
