Unfortunately, Republicans at the state and federal levels have engaged in an unprecedented attack on voting rights and embraced false conspiracy theories that undermine public confidence in our voting systems. Democrats are determined to continue advancing the cause of voting rights and conducting oversight to ensure that misleading information does not deter Americans from participating in our democracy and having confidence in the results of our free and fair elections.
Every election, Americans head to the polls to exercise their most fundamental right – the right to vote. Unfortunately, Republicans at the state and federal levels have engaged in an unprecedented attack on voting rights and embraced false conspiracy theories that undermine public confidence in our voting systems. Democrats are determined to continue advancing the cause of voting rights and conducting oversight to ensure that misleading information does not deter Americans from participating in our democracy and having confidence in the results of our free and fair elections.
Last Congress, Democrats in the House passed the Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore the voting rights protections struck down by the Supreme Court in the flawed Supreme Court decision in Shelby County v. Holder. In 2019, the House passed H.R. 1, the For the People Act, which makes it easier for Americans to exercise their right to vote.
In the 117th Congress, Democrats will work with the Biden Administration to see these measures enacted into law, and continue pushing for reforms that make it easier for eligible Americans to cast their ballots and ensure that their votes are counted accurately.
