Our elections are less secure than your Amazon account. They're under-resourced and undermined by partisan and racist officials who try to stop people from exercising their right to vote. We need to protect our democracy—and I’ve got a plan for that: medium.com/@teamwarren/my…
We need a constitutional amendment to guarantee the right to vote. But we can also take action now. The federal government has the power to regulate federal elections, secure our democracy, and put a stop to racist voter suppression.
I'll start by making sure federal elections get state-of-the-art machines, ballots, and security. We'll replace every voting machine in the country with state-of-the-art equipment and require adoption of a uniform federal ballot. And we'll make sure those systems are secure.
Next, we'll establish federal standards to ensure everyone can vote, including mandating automatic and same-day registration, early voting, and vote by mail. No more arbitrary voter purges, registration issues, or gerrymandering. We'll make Election Day a national holiday.
Finally, we'll provide incentives and resources for states to improve state elections—and where racist or corrupt politicians refuse to follow the law, the federal government will temporarily take over the administration of their federal elections to guarantee the right to vote.
Our democracy is too important for our elections to be under-resourced, undermined, and vulnerable. We need to do everything we can to make sure our elections are convenient, professional, and secure. Read my full plan here: medium.com/@teamwarren/my…
