Why Democrats might end up using the Senate's Nuclear Option to pass Voting Rights laws they've already passed in the House chamber?

Why Democrats might end up using the Senate's Nuclear Option to pass Voting Rights laws they've already passed in the House chamber?

Senators in the upper chamber of Congress are allowed to write and change the rules of their chamber depending on which party is in control of the Senate Chamber during the current session of Congress. The Senate's Nuclear option is a metaphor for changing the vote-threshold of legislation and nominees from 60 votes to 51. When the Senate is not using the Nuclear Option, it takes 60 votes to end debate on a law or bill and then the Senators can vote on a bill and either pass the legislation or not pass it and possibly even continue working on that law until they can all agree to pass it. But as the Senate stands right now until the start of the new Congress session in January 2023 starts, there is fifty Republican Senators and fifty Democratic Senators in the upper chamber of Congress. When necessary Vice President Harris may as the President of the Senate cast a tie breaking vote when Senators vote fifty to fifty for a piece of legislation in consideration. That's where the Democrats in the Senate have to be careful with possibly changing the rules of the Senate to allow for the usage of the Nuclear Option.
