The Democrats' voting rights bill titled the "Freedom to Vote Act" would authorize a federal commission to oversee the distribution of $25 credits to qualified voters who would be able to donate the funds to candidates for public office. Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel referred to the bill as the "Freedom to Cheat Act." Florida Sen. Rick Scott said Democrats are seeking to loosen voter verification rules so they can win elections.
