As the United States Senate prepares to vote on a bill that would completely federalize all elections in the country, one Democrat is still voicing opposition to eliminating the 60-vote filibuster, according to The Hill.

Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), widely seen as one of the two most moderate Democrats in the Senate, wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post in which she declared “I oppose eliminating the Senate’s 60-vote threshold” for overcoming a filibuster by the minority party. Doing so, she said, would threaten “democracy’s guardrails,” and would see the country “lose much more than we gain.”
