This story in The Washington Times is by Haris Alic. Here is an excerpt:

H.R. 1, which is titled the For the People Act, is billed by House Democrats as a means to curb the influence of money and gerrymandering. The 790-page bill includes a bevy of liberal provisions such as statehood for the District of Columbia and guaranteeing voting rights for felons.
