What I do not understand is how this is difficult. Every citizen of a country must be able to vote. Each citizen should have a similar degree of ease in casting that vote.

How this is achieved must mean some degree of remote voting by post or ultimately by electronic means, polling stations open 24 hours or longer and nobody waiting for any amount of time to cast a vote.

At the same time robust measures to ensure that elections are not “hackable” in any way whether by foreign parties or local ones.

How is this NOT clear to both parties ?

If there was ever a perfect issue for bipartisan working this must be it.

I live in hope...

This afternoon I started a list of things to DO now to help support the For the People Act. 1. Write your elected officials 2. Write letters to the editor 3. Participate in non-violent peaceful protests demanding free and fair elections 4. Buy only from companies who show visible support of the For the People Act and democracy -- especially do not support corporations or the donors to Republicans elected officials opposing For the People Act 5. Sign a promise to not vote for any Republican at any level in government -- local, state, national -- as long as they are the anti-democracy party of lies, obstruction, insurrection and violence. 6. Speak up! 7. Counter misinformation especially words being contorted like Socialism and Voter Integrity with accurate definitions 8. Embrace Synergy - we are greater together 9. Support the social justice movement 10. Put a signature on every letter, email, text you send WE the People, All of Us This Time! 11. Hold the media reporting accountable. 12. Reach out to other groups supporting voter rights. Add you own ideas to this list. We the People, All of us this time!
