Urgent Support Needed for Election Worker Protection Act

I am writing to express my strong support for the Election Worker Protection Act (S. 1318), introduced by Senators Amy Klobuchar and Dick Durbin. This critical legislation seeks to safeguard our election workers, who play an indispensable role in maintaining the integrity and security of our democratic process.
The increasing harassment and threats directed at election workers, fueled by misinformation and false allegations, are not only unacceptable but also pose a significant threat to the foundation of our democracy. The incidents of election workers facing severe intimidation, including physical threats to their safety and their families, underscore the urgent need for comprehensive federal protections.
The Election Worker Protection Act proposes essential measures to ensure the safety and security of election workers, including grants for recruitment, training, and physical protection. It aims to create a safer environment for these workers to perform their duties without fear of intimidation or harm.
As your constituent, I urge you to support and advocate for the swift passage of the Election Worker Protection Act. Ensuring the safety of election workers is crucial for the preservation of our democratic values and the smooth conduct of fair and free elections.
Thank you for considering my views on this matter. I look forward to your support for S. 1318 and the protection it offers to those at the frontline of our democratic process.
