New from @BrennanCenter: At least 14 states have passed 22 laws this year that make it harder for Americans to vote. brennancenter.org/our-work/resea…
And it's likely to get worse - roughly a third of legislatures are still in session this year and more than 60 bills with restrictive provisions are advancing in 18 states.
The need for federal reform has never been clearer. The For the People Act would block many of these restrictions for federal elections. #ForThePeopleAct #HR1 brennancenter.org/our-work/resea…
But it's not all bad news. At least 28 bills with expansive provisions have been enacted in 14 states, and at least 115 bills with expansive provisions are advancing in 25 states.

1/ BREAKING: @IAGovernor Kim Reynolds just signed an executive order restoring voting rights to tens of thousands of Iowans with convictions in their past!!!!
2/ This is a HUGE – now NO state in the country has a policy of permanently and categorically banning people from voting because of past convictions -- a historic sea change.
3/ There is NO requirement to pay off any kind of financial obligation or monetary sanction before individuals become eligible
