Terri Sewell
The Public Record
Voting rights and ensuring and expanding access to the franchise should not be partisan.
We must celebrate increases in voter participation, not respond with restrictions on voter access.
Many of the voting laws passed in the wake of the 2020 election go to the very heart of the integrity of our elections, directly targeted methods voters of color used in 2020.
Congress must work to pass pro voter, pro democracy legislation and policies.
Instead of a lack of confidence in our elections, the American people are worried about backsliding toward autocracy.
Ensuring every eligible American can cast a ballot is a goal we should all strive for.
Voters can still turn out to vote, even if it has been made more difficult for people to vote.
As we approach the 10th anniversary of the Supreme Court's Shelby decision undermining the Voting Rights Act, we must recommit ourselves to the ideal that every American should have a voice in our democracy.
