I am writing to urge you to stand up for the fundamental right to vote and reject two bills that threaten our democracy: the American Confidence in Elections Act (ACE Act) and the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act).
For too long, gerrymandering, voter suppression, and the influence of big money in politics have undermined our ability to have a voice in our democracy. The ACE Act and SAVE Act would only exacerbate these problems, disenfranchising millions of eligible voters and further entrenching the interests of wealthy corporations over those of everyday Americans.
The ACE Act is an extreme anti-voter proposal that would erect restrictive barriers to voting, increase the role of big money in politics, and strip the rights of District of Columbia residents. The SAVE Act would make it harder for all eligible Americans to register to vote and increase the risk that eligible voters are purged from voter rolls.
As a Democrat, I urge you to stand up for our democratic values and reject these bills. Instead, focus on measures that expand access to voting, protect the integrity of our elections, and ensure that every voter's voice is heard. Democracy thrives when it includes all of us.
I urge you to vote against both the ACE Act and the SAVE Act and work towards a more inclusive and equitable democracy.
