Ranking Member Morelle Statement on New GOP Anti-Voter Bill

Press Release

"This legislation is designed to appease extremist election deniers who have spent the last four years attacking our democracy. It would restrict the fundamental right to vote especially for voters of color, jeopardize the security of our elections, burden local election administrators, and bring more dark money into our electoral process--opening the door to corruption. It's anti-American.

While this Republican bill would undermine the voice of everyday Americans and instead empower special interests, House Democrats are working to protect and strengthen our democracy. Together, the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act will protect the right to vote for all eligible Americans, provide election administrators with the resources they need to run our elections safely and securely, and increase transparency in politics."
