Dear friend,
It is imperative that President Biden’s administration take ambitious action to protect the right to vote and to champion new federal protections for voting rights. Here are the ACLU’s key recommendations :- The Biden administration must take executive action to enforce federal voting rights laws. This includes designating special assistant U.S. attorneys for voting rights to investigate and enforce potential violations of federal voting rights laws and provide the critical federal oversight of local redistricting efforts to ensure such actions are not racially discriminatory.
- They must also upgrade federal voter registration services, focusing on improving ballot access for voters with disabilities and protecting the rights of eligible or soon-to-be eligible incarcerated individuals.
The incoming administration must also help advance legislation to protect voting rights. This includes the support of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act which will help to restore many of the protections that were lost when the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act in 2013. Additionally, baseline federal rules to reduce or eliminate needless barriers to voting are long overdue.
The ACLU is demanding the Biden administration take action on these issues and much more in the first 100 days. Are you with us ? Thank you for taking action, ACLU Team.
