John -- Looking back at 2021, every Republican in the House of Representatives voted against the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
Of those 212 conservatives, five take the cake as some of the boldest opponents of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
Our team set a mid-month goal of raising $20,000 by tonight at 11:59pm to fight back against foes of fair maps like McCarthy, Jordan, Greene, Cawthorn, and Gaetz to pass voting rights legislation. Will you chip in right now to help us reach our goal?

Here’s why Kevin McCarthy and Jim Jordan said they voted against the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act:
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy baselessly said: “What it does it makes Hollywood pretty much in charge of our campaigns... It goes against the constitution.”
Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan incorrectly claimed: “It’s never been easier to vote in America. [There is] a false narrative of voter suppression in Republican states.”
They’re both wrong.
The bill would restore provisions of the Voting Rights Act that the Supreme Court gutted eight years ago. That’s why we’re seeing unified opposition from Republicans in the House. These anti-democratic politicians are in favor of voter suppression and against allowing everyone in this country to be fairly represented in our democracy.
These five politicians, and many of their Senate colleagues -- from Ted Cruz to Rand Paul, will continue to mislead their constituents about provisions in this bill to convince enough senators to block its passage.
A major component of All On The Line’s strategy to achieve fair elections and fair maps is to pass important federal legislation. To do that, we need to fight back against distrustful, untruthful opponents of democracy.
We set a mid-month goal to raise $20,000 by tonight at 11:59pm. If you donate right now, it will help us fight back against politicians like McCarthy, Jordan, Greene, Cawthorn, and Gaetz who are blocking democracy reforms.
