Congressman A. Donald McEachin (VA-04) co-sponsored H.R. 1, the “For the People Act of 2019” – a Democratic legislative priority that includes voter protection and access language derived from two bills he co-introduced in the 115th Congress.
H.R. 1 includes voter protection language derived from Rep. McEachin’s “Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act of 2018,” co-introduced with Rep. Jerry Nadler (NY-10), and voter access language derived from “Election Day Holiday Act,” co-introduced with Rep. Anna Eshoo (CA-18).
“No person should be deceived as they seek to cast their vote in an election, and all those who wish to vote should have the time they need to do just that. Our democracy depends on the involvement of our citizens, and the right to vote is the most basic form of participation,” said Congressman Donald McEachin. “Democrats are and have been committed to making it easier for the American people to exercise their right to vote. Just this past November, we saw well-documented election fraud in a North Carolina congressional race. We must pass federal legislation that will ensure security and integrity in our elections and make it easier for Americans to participate in our democracy.”
