Our Vote Texas Joins Letter To U.S. Senate: Pass The Freedom To Vote Act

Today we joined in a letter with the Declaration for American Democracy coalition and over 200 other organizations in support of the Freedom To Vote Act because Congress must protect access to the ballot for all, end dark money, and stop partisan gerrymandering.

If enacted, the Freedom to Vote Act will be the most significant, comprehensive anti-corruption and voting rights bill in generations. This far-reaching legislation is also essential to counteract the many voter suppression and subversion laws enacted in nineteen states across the nation.

The Freedom to Vote Act would:

• Respond directly to new laws around the country that are focused on making it harder for people to vote.

• Protect the integrity of our elections by adding new safeguards against election subversion, such as partisan efforts to remove local election administrators and harassment of poll workers.

• Ban partisan and racial gerrymandering.

• Reduce the power of special interests in our elections by ending dark money and strengthening our campaign finance laws.

Texans have been battling it out over our freedom to vote and protecting the power of that vote. It is past time for federal action to ensure that voters across the nation have a vote that is heard, powerful and protected.
