John,
Democrats in the Senate recently introduced a new voting rights bill. We know that passing comprehensive voting rights reforms will be hard to pass in this evenly split Senate. However, the introduction of this bill is a big boost to our fight.
Please, take a look at what is in the bill:
- Automatic voter registration (includes online) - Great!
- Same day voter-registration - Great!
- No excuse vote-by-mail - Phenomenal, but we need to hear more details.
- Drop boxes - looks promising!
- Voters are able to use provisional ballots in other precincts - Great!
- People with felony convictions have a path to voting after they are released from prison - Great!
- Strict standards on voter roll purges - Great!
- Push back against the partisan effect on local election officials - Great!
- Paper ballots - Helps make our elections more secure.
- Makes Election Day a national holiday - Great!
- National standard for voter ID - Details are still unclear. While voter ID requirements are usually a step back, this standard might only apply to states that already have a voter ID law. If that is the case, this could be a good compromise to get this bill passed.
We need to pass this bill to stop the GOP voter suppression bills and to save our democracy. John, can you help fund our network of voting rights advocates to rally support behind this bill?
