Another reason I cannot support H.R. 1 in its current form is it is increasing the election system's vulnerability by failing to implement necessary checks and balances regarding who is eligible to register to vote.

clearly answers the call for a new Voting Rights Act using the template from States like Michigan, Florida, and Missouri

I would love to talk to you about redistricting reform. I am from Illinois. We would love to have your support for redistricting reform efforts there.

You are basically saying, okay, any Presidential candidate does not have to make the choice anymore to choose to abide by limitations in spending.

They felt it was outmoded.

Bipartisan election reforms can happen, but not with Republicans not even being consulted.

H.R. 1 creates a false sense of security by federalizing and centralizing our election system.

The issue here is trying to provide candidates with a way to run for office where they don't have to depend on lobbyists, on bundlers, on large contributions.

It is just a constitutional overreach that places limits on free speech protected by the First Amendment.

We don't want H.R. 1 taking power away from the States given to them by the Constitution.

We should all share a common goal of ensuring our elections be open, free, fair, and functioning with the highest level of integrity.
