Democrats Introduce Bill To Give Every American An Affirmative Right To Vote

The Right to Vote Act would allow voters to challenge any restriction of their access to the ballot.

“This is legislation that would ensure that courts respect the right to vote as the fundamental right that it is,” Jones said. “It is the first congressional guarantee of the right to vote in federal elections. It also solves the problem that we are seeing in certain states of election subversion.”

The bill would affirm Americans’ right to vote by declaring election laws or rules that pose a “severe or discriminatory burden” to be illegitimate ― unless the jurisdiction in question can prove that its proposed law or rule furthers a governmental interest and is the “least restrictive means” of doing so.

This means states and local jurisdictions would need to provide documented evidence if they want to claim that their restriction of voter access is necessary to provide election integrity or to counter election or voter fraud.

So called “political” tumblrs that focus on criticizing the Biden administration for not adopting more progressive policies and not on Republican led state legislatures pushing through voting restrictions are actively abetting the disenfranchisement of voters of color, white supremacy, and Trumpism and no I will not take questions
