House Democrats pushed past Republican opposition Wednesday to pass sweeping ethics, government and electoral reforms that would vastly expand voting access, boost transparency to political financing and institute more powerful ethical oversight for members of Congress, the president and Supreme Court justices. The For the People Act, dubbed House Resolution 1 , is a key Democratic priority intended to restore faith in the U.S.

States would also be required to automatically register eligible voters, restore voting rights to former felons and offer early voting and no-excuse absentee balloting.
