We need Voting Rights Bill now to be passed

[evawurttemberger]

It is so sad, that this man didn't made it to the Senat. Instead we got ...Lindsay....baaargh

[pamelamattox]

Jamie harrison has been given a very important job. Pass the John Lewis Voting Act.

[rattana]

Can Joe make it illegal to suppress voting. Seems pretty simple to me. I mean, as Americans we have a right to vote. Everybody, everybody.

[reneeroberson]

Please hurry up and get Florida, Texas, and other racist southern States

[maggie]

i don't see how Democrats can ever lose again, since most of the retrumplicants are going to jail.

[Jessijitsu]

What about repealing gerrymandering laws?

[richardtaylor]

This is as important an issue as is out there, for this nation. Period.

[nancym]

If anyone can do it Jaime can! I truly now feel that DNC will be correctly operated. Thanks Jaime! 🙏

[DavidJ]

It's 2021, and thanks to the GOP, we as Americans are still fighting for the right to vote.

[kevakarden]

Plenty of 3rd world countries could give USA lessons on free and fair elections

[lastjob]

If blacks are equal, WHY is there a Voters Rights Law that must be litigated/expanded/continued. No other group has to keep begging for the right to vote.

[RMDorey]

What gets me is states requiring voter ID, if that is a requirement of the state, that state should provide all eligible voters with a valid voter ID card.

[faithfulgrl]

An Act which includes Same Day Registration
will help so many people to vote. Especially young voters. On another note,
Keep Your Laws
Off My Body!

[Justusson]

D.C.
Puerto Rico.

That’s all I’m saying, ..

[octoberschild]

🇺🇲🗳 Voting is a RIGHT 🇺🇲🗳NOT a Privilege!
This is The United States of America 🇺🇸 we Need to get Back to being able to be PROUD of that Fact. The ONLY Way to do that is making sure EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN has the Right to Vote.

[happytosing]

Pass the John Lewis bill quickly
Good work
Let’s also make DC a state

[susanvogel]

You might benefit from 80 million signatures on a petition to the Senate and maybe even the Supreme Court to thwart Republican obstructionism. I’ll be happy to sign. Thank you for doing this important work. From TX...the broken grid state.

[patlecat]

Get rid of this undemocratic gerrymandering first!

[elloco]

Get yourself a REAL constitution and the majority of your problems will disappear.
