Dear Senators Sinema and Kelly,
I am an independent voter and want to look at each candidate before voting. I think everyone deserves the right to vote how and where they can. I think any legislation that tries to limit people being able to vote is wrong. However, I am concerned about recent efforts to limit Americans’ voting freedom. Restrictive voting efforts are largely based on the false claim that the 2020 election was stolen or rife with fraud, despite it being the most secure election of our history. Voting freedom restrictions disenfranchise some of our most historically oppressed Americans, including Native Americans and Black Americans.
Voting freedom is a national issue, and the ideas behind the Freedom to Vote Act have widespread and bipartisan public support. A uniform and federal standard for voting freedom nationwide can provide much-needed updates to our democracy, protecting the right to vote for every eligible American. I support the freedom to vote act because I think everyone deserves an equal and fair opportunity to vote. Suppressing people’s ability to vote is wrong and undemocratic. I especially like the provisions in this bill for restoration of voting rights.
Polls show that the majority of Americans — across the political spectrum — support many provisions in this bill. I urge you to do your part as my representative to collaborate on passing this landmark legislation.
