Stop Republicans’ New Attack on Voting Rights

Republicans in Congress just introduced one of the most dangerous anti-voting bills in decades, and it’s designed for one purpose: making it harder for millions of Americans to vote in November. This isn’t about “election integrity.” It’s about stopping Democratic voters from electing a House and Senate that will hold Trump accountable.

Their bill would gut mail-in voting, restrict absentee ballots, ban ranked-choice voting, and force states to adopt rigid new ID rules that target young voters, working families, seniors, and voters of color. These are the exact groups Republicans believe will decide control of Congress this fall — and they’re trying to shut them out before ballots are even cast.

The bill is timed perfectly for maximum political impact. With Trump’s administration openly pressuring agencies ahead of the midterms, House Republicans are working hand-in-glove to rewrite the rules and tilt the playing field before Americans have a chance to vote.

If we don’t speak out now, this bill could gain momentum — and once voting rights are stripped away, they are brutally hard to win back. Public outrage is one of the only tools we have to stop this before it reaches the floor.

Democrats can defeat this attack if voters make clear that any lawmaker who supports it will be held accountable. When our voices are loud enough, even extreme politicians back down — and that pressure can protect the freedoms Republicans are so desperate to take away.

We must defend the right to vote before it’s too late. Tell Congress: Stop this Republican assault on voting rights and protect every American’s freedom to vote in November.

The petition to Congress reads: "Reject Republicans’ dangerous anti-voting bill. Protect mail voting, absentee voting, and every American’s freedom to vote — and stop this attempt to rig the House and Senate elections in November."
