[https://edition.cnn.com/2021/03/03/politics/house-democrats-hr1-vote/index.html](https://edition.cnn.com/2021/03/03/politics/house-democrats-hr1-vote/index.html) The House on Wednesday approved HR 1, a sweeping government, ethics and election bill that Democrats have made a signature legislative priority. HR 1 passed the House during the last Congress after Democrats won back the majority, but it failed to advance in the Republican-controlled Senate. Now Democrats also control the White House and the Senate, but it is still likely to hit a roadblock in the Senate where it's not clear there would be enough Republican support to overcome a filibuster. Democrats describe the package as anti-corruption legislation that would expand voting access and improve accountability and transparency in Washington.
