In defense of democracy

ELECTORAL COUNT REFORM: A STEP FORWARD

January 6, 2021, was a dark day in our nation's history, and the disinformation that sparked the insurrection continues to attack our election system. 

The recently passed Electoral Count Reform Act will strengthen our democracy by providing clear and updated guidelines for certifying and counting the American people's votes for President and Vice President. This necessary legislation is one step towards ensuring out country never experiences another January 6.

While the League welcomed this bipartisan bill, our elected officials must do more to make democracy work. We need Congress to pass voting rights expansions so that all Americans have an equal opportunity to have their voices heard in our elections.

We will continue to advocate for all voters and ensure that everyone can participate in fair and accessible elections.
