Dear Senators Sinema and Kelly,
Hello, my name is Nancy. I first registered to vote in 1980 at the age of 18, and I have voted in every election in Arizona for the past 41 years. I am extremely thankful for my right to vote, and I consider it my duty to be informed and to support candidates who are dedicated to protecting our Democracy. I am very concerned that many of my fellow American citizens are not being allowed the same freedom to vote that I have enjoyed, due to the many voter suppression bills that are being passed in state legislatures. These 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. This is very distressing to me.
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 strongly believe we must protect the voting rights of ALL Americans! I especially like the provisions in this bill for secure but simple voter ID regulations and measures to end partisan gerrymandering.
I humbly ask that you consider this bill and its democracy-advancing policies as one of your most pressing priorities. Thank you for the excellent work you are doing!
