    Bill introduced by House Democrats will do much to protect our democracy. It will curtail partisan Congressional gerrymandering among other things. Once passed by the House the Senate must also pass. This is good for America.

    . says GOP voter suppression efforts in states like GA & FL tipped close races in 2018. "I truly believe the way votes were not counted & purged in states like Georgia and Florida changed the outcome of the last election. That must never happen again in our country."

    2018 was a historic year for voting rights. But it may have been even better for the GOP's war on democracy. We spoke to about the victories, the GOP's power grabS and why there's no "both sides" when it comes ballot access in America.
