Today, Texas legislators put forth a bill that joins Georgia and Florida in advancing a state law that attacks the sacred right to vote. It's part of an assault on democracy that we've seen far too often this year--and often disproportionately targeting Black and Brown Americans.
It's wrong and un-American. In the 21st century, we should be making it easier, not harder, for every eligible voter to vote.
I call again on Congress to pass the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. And I continue to call on all Americans, of every party and persuasion, to stand up for our democracy and protect the right to vote and the integrity of our elections.
