Democrats Introduce Bill To Give Every American An Affirmative Right To Vote
The Right to Vote Act would allow voters to challenge any restriction of their access to the ballot.
New legislation from Democratic lawmakers would provide all Americans with an affirmative right to vote and a legal process to secure that right for the first time โ a move that could counter Republican efforts around the country to restrict voting access.
Rep. Mondaire Jones (D-N.Y.) and Sens. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) and Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) introduced the Right to Vote Act on Wednesday.
โThis is legislation that would ensure that courts respect the right to vote as the fundamental right that it is,โ Jones said. โIt is the first congressional guarantee of the right to vote in federal elections. It also solves the problem that we are seeing in certain states of election subversion.โ
