“Nonsensical,” John.

That’s the word U.S. District Judge Mark Walker repeated over and over again in his recent injunction to block Florida Republican legislators’ voter suppression law targeting Black voters.

You probably remember the law he’s talking about — which made it illegal to hand out bottled water to voters waiting in line. It restricted mail ballot drop boxes and made it harder to vote by mail (all in the midst of a global pandemic that has claimed nearly one million American lives).

Blocking this law was the right step, but it won’t be enough to stop the onslaught of Republican voter suppression in states across the country between now and November.

Add your name to my petition demanding the Senate immediately bring voting rights legislation to the floor for a vote. The House has passed multiple bills to protect voting rights, and there is abundant cause for urgency with Republicans undermining electoral integrity every single day. The Senate must act.

There is one central theme that every Republican voter suppression law since the 2020 election has been about — spreading Donald Trump’s Big Lie by promoting the conspiracy theory that millions of illegal ballots were cast in the last election with zero evidence.

Republicans’ so-called “election integrity” laws are nothing more than open justification to keep the GOP legislators writing them in power and hand the next presidential election to Donald Trump.

Florida is but one state that could see its Senate race — and our majority with it — decided in an election where Republican voter suppression laws have been put into effect.

We’re talking about a state where barely 10,000 votes decided the last Senate race in 2018. Not to mention equally vital races in Georgia, Arizona, and many other hotly-contested states that have their own Senate elections this fall as well.

With Americans facing their greatest challenge to voting rights in more than 50 years, I’m humbly asking you to add your name to my petition demanding the Senate bring our multiple bills addressing voting rights to the Senate floor for a vote. Let’s put Republicans on the record as their counterparts at the state level work to reverse decades of progress.

If there is one thing you can count on, it’s that I’ll never back down or stop fighting to protect our democracy, for this generation and the next.

Thanks for having my back.
