Baldwin Calls to Pass Bill to Protect the Freedom to Vote and Strengthen Our Democracy

Press Release

Date: Aug. 17, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.

"Regardless of where you live in this country, you should have the same access to the ballot box and faith that our elections are fair and safe. Voting rights are the foundation of our democracy and it is our responsibility to stop voter suppression efforts and remove barriers to the constitutionally protected right to vote. The Freedom to Vote Act removes barriers that prevent too many Americans from participating in our democracy, while shedding light on the dark money in our politics and tackling the practice of gerrymandering that disenfranchises voters in Wisconsin and across the country. I'm proud to stand with the American people who want to prevent efforts to chip away at the cornerstone of American democracy. It's time to pass the Freedom to Vote Act."
