I am writing to request that you oppose the Republican’s new American Confidence in Elections Act. I strongly oppose this bill as it would make it harder for Americans to vote by removing same day voter registration options and removing ballot drop boxes. In order to have a robust democracy, we should make participation in elections easier, not more difficult.
At the same time, the MAGA Voter Intimidation bill helps the rich and powerful to meddle more in our democracy by loosening donor disclosure requirements, making it easier to hide political contributions. There is already too much money in politics.
I want to see members of Congress working together to establish a more inclusive democracy. Republicans should be reaching across the aisle to Democrats in Congress who are already working to safeguard access to the ballot box and lower the barrier for Americans to vote.
