Reyna Walters-Morgan: We want to make sure that every voter has the ability to vote in an equal & fair way. One way to do that is to make sure the vote is not diluted & that the maps are fair. We support PA's governor's vetoing Repub voting maps.
@reyna_simone @DNC

Reyna Walters-Morgan: In addition to redistricting, we can get involved in civic engagement to help get people registered to vote & to make sure they get out to vote.
@reyna_simone @DNC

Reyna Walters-Morgan: This cycle as opposed to other cycles, we've invested heavily in the right to vote. In Apr 2021, the DNC invested $20 in midterms--the earliest we've ever made that announcement. It allowed us to get a head start.

Reyna Walters-Morgan: Dems have voter protection teams in 13 states across the country, & that's unprecedented.
Rick: 19 states have passed 34 voter suppression laws--with no Democratic votes. There was no bipartisanship on those laws.
@reyna_simone @DNC

Reyna Walters-Morgan: Democrats believe every eligible person should have the right to vote & should be able to vote.
@reyna_simone @DNC

Reyna Walters-Morgan: We know that electing Democrats helps prevent some of these problems. In the states passing these voter laws, they have 4 things in common: Repub governors, Rep Sec'y of State, & Repub State House & Senate.

Reyna Walters-Morgan: There was a study done a few years ago that tracked cell phone data around voting locations. Voters of color tended to wait in line 30 mins longer on average than other voters. That's disturbing to me.
@reyna_simone @DNC

Reyna Walters-Morgan: When I see long lines of people waiting to vote, I've never thought that next time I should make it even more difficult for them to vote--but that's exactly what Repubs do.
@reyna_simone @DNC

Reyna Walters-Morgan: VP Harris also announced a $25 million investment for voter registration, litigation if necessary. That's something early investment can help us with. Voters are resilient & will turn out to vote--Dems try to make that as easy for them as poss.

Reyna Walters-Morgan: One thing we're seeing now is many Republicans undermining the fabric of democracy with voter subversion. Many of these are Trump supporters.
@reyna_simone @DNC

Reyna Walters-Morgan: Places like GA, where there's a candidate for Sec'y of State who's an election denier & was at the Capitol on Jan 6. People who said they wouldn't certify an election are running for office. That's scary.
@reyna_simone @DNC

Reyna Walters-Morgan: How do we make sure voters know who these people are? Calling out the candidates who've already said they don't want to uphold the oaths of their office--we'll make sure voters know who they are.
@reyna_simone @DNC

* election subversion

Reyna Walters-Morgan: I do think there will always be work Dems can do to show how much we've delivered for the American people. The fastest economic growth since 1984? More jobs created in one year than ever before? So many Americans vaccinated?
