Our looks or bank account balance shouldn’t determine whether we have a voice in our elections, policies, and government rulemaking. Yet billionaires can buy tickets to White House dinners and congressmembers make millions from stock trading, but ordinary voters have to jump through the bureaucratic gauntlet just to vote. America is stronger when more people vote, and when people can cast ballots conveniently with confidence that their ballot will be counted.
Support Voters’ Decisionmaking Power
- Expand rural Americans’ ability to cast their vote, reduce the influence of big money in politics, and end unethical practices like congressional stock trading.1
- Rural voters are more likely to live far from their local elections office and their polling place. Allow all American voters to vote at home, provide pre-paid envelopes to return ballots, and automatically register citizens to vote at DMVs.2
- Ensure Native Americans’ status as U.S. citizens is protected, and they have the right to vote and their vote counts fairly.
- Support fair election districts and stop the attempts to take away the voice of Native communities and rural people of color through gerrymandering and rigged election districts.
