Pelosi Hypes Abrams Pushing Congress for Dem Election Bonanza Bill

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi solicited a letter from Stacey Abrams to members of Congress about the upcoming vote on H.R. 1, the For the People Act.

In her "Dear colleague" letter, Pelosi let Abrams describe how critical the legislation is "To the future of the Democracy." Abrams compared voter suppression in the 2020 election to the Jim Crow era.

The COVID pandemic revealed both the inequalities in our voting laws and the necessity of standardized guidelines that apply regardless of the U.S. citizen's state of residence.

In response to the critical adaptations made in the 2020 cycle, voter suppression legislation champion by state leaders has accelerated at a pace not seen since the Jim Crow era.

Measures like dramatic limits to voting by mail, drastic cuts in early in-person voting in concreted efforts to throw out eligible voters threatening our democracy.

In several states, even the act of registering to vote is, again, under attack.

This decentralized yet coordinated voter suppression strategy demands that the federal government provide the type of natural protection envisioned in the Constitution's Election Clause.
