We need to reform our voting laws so that there’s never another January 6th

Voting should be simple and universal. Instead of complicating it by adding a bunch of needless bureaucracy, let's fix it so that America can live up to its principles!

Pamela, Our government depends on the consent of the governed―but one party has gone out of its way to deny Americans the ability to make their voices heard! Donald Trump and his party exploited confusion about which votes should count, and how they're counted to create the January 6th assault on the Capitol. We can never let that happen again. Voting should be simple and universal. Instead of complicating it by adding a bunch of needless bureaucracy, let's fix it so that America can live up to its principles! Demand Congress Act to protect our voting rights >> Here's a quick rundown on what we're proposing, and why each of these steps is so important: The Freedom to Vote Act would remove barriers put in place by voter suppression laws that keep voters of color, voters with disabilities, and young voters from casting their ballots. It would establish automatic and online voter registration, create uniform early voting, and make Election Day a federal holiday. Additionally, it would restore felon voting rights, end partisan gerrymandering, stop shady PAC contributions, and require every college campus to have a polling location. The Native American Voting Rights Act is bipartisan legislation that upholds Native Americans' constitutionally guaranteed right to vote by combating many of the challenges Native communities face when casting their ballots, such as limited dropbox and polling locations, lack of language assistance, and limited transportation. The John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act would restore and expand the protections of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA) that were stripped away by the Supreme Court. In 2013, the Supreme Court determined the protections of the 1965 VRA were no longer necessary and ended federal review of new voting laws by states with long histories of voter suppression. Since then, 31 states have passed more than 100 restrictive laws that suppress the vote of people of color, young voters, and impact voters with disabilities. The Washington DC Admission Act would provide the nearly 700,000 residents of DC, more than half of whom are Black and Hispanic, the same representation in the House and Senate that every other state gets. Currently the District, which has more residents than Vermont and Wyoming respectively, has no voting representation in Congress. Tell Congress to pass these 4 bills and make our democracy work!
