1. In 2009, Democrats in DC had an opportunity to protect our elections and voting rights.

They passed.

Kinda like Florida 2000 never happened.

Kinda like Ohio 2004 never happened.













If I were a more cynical person, I'd suspect they don't give a shit about voting rights and fair elections.

2. I would agree! It's there last mode of voter manipulation... a safety valve of sorts

8. The behavior of the DNC during this primary should leave no doubt. [n/t]

[Kip Humphrey]

3. Without a secure, fair, and free election we cannot have a revolution. Before all else,

we must first restore our voting systems to one that is a true one person, one vote verifiable system. As of today, the only system that provides transparency is Hand Counted Paper Ballots (HCPBs).

I have been saying this since 2003... and it is still true.

4. +420

It would be nice if the lawsuits being filed could drill down to the point... prove to us (the voter) that you (Democratic Party) that the votes are secure. That would be amazing

[Kip Humphrey]

5. it will not happen. The Democrats have been as disinterested in repairing our voing systems as

republicons.

6. It's a new day.. we are currently remaking the democratic party... it's a life long fight

[Kip Humphrey]

7. Restoring our voting systems must be a top priority for the revolution, my point.

9. Hillary Clinton has some of the best policies for the protection of voting rights out there

The Clinton platform is one of the best set of proposals to protect the right to vote that I have seen and this is one of my passions. https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/voting-rights/

Hillary has laid out her vision for how to expand access to the ballot box for all Americans and how to defend against the systematic, deliberate efforts to stop millions of citizens from participating in our democracy:

Repairing the Voting Rights Act. Congress should move quickly to pass legislation that would fix the damage done to the Voting Rights Act by the Supreme Court and restore the full protections American voters need and deserve. These protections are crucial for young and minority voters, seniors, and other underrepresented groups disproportionately affected by harmful Republican efforts to restrict voting.

Setting a new national standard for early voting. It’s time to set a standard across our country of at least 20 days of early in-person voting, including opportunities for evening and weekend voting. This will reduce long lines and give more people an opportunity to vote, especially those who have work or family obligations during the day. Early in-person voting isn’t just convenient—it’s also more secure, more reliable, and more affordable than absentee voting.

Implementing universal, automatic voter registration. Every citizen in every state should be automatically registered to vote when they turn 18, unless they choose to opt out. At the same time, we need to make sure that registration rolls are secure, up to date, and accurate. When you move, your registration should move with you. Modernizing registration will add tens of millions of voters to the rolls, cost less, and reduce the potential for errors or irregularities.
