Democrats Introduce Bill to ‘Massively Expand' Mail-in Voting

Democrat lawmakers on Thursday introduced a bill dubbed the "Vote at Home Act," which seeks to "Massively expand vote-at-home ballot access," enacting automatic voter registration and providing voters with pre-paid ballot envelopes.

The Democrat lawmakers said the introduction of the bill was encouraged by what they described as "The successful expansion of voting at home and by mail in the November 2020 election," in which almost 50 percent of voters cast ballots by mail, a record high in federal races.

"We should continue to make voting easier, not harder. This important bill would strengthen and clarify the right to vote at home, the most secure and convenient way for voters to exercise the franchise."

The Democrats' "Vote at Home Act" stipulates a range of actions that would expand vote by mail in federal elections.

"All registered voters would receive ballots in the mail weeks before Election Day, allowing them to carefully research candidates and issues well ahead of Election Day to inform their vote," the press release states.

The bill would also grant all registered voters nationwide the ability to cast their ballots by mail or at ballot drop boxes.

The House Republican bill called the "Save Democracy Act," seeks to create baseline protections against election irregularities and voter fraud during elections.
