When people vote, Republicans lose!
Do people go to talk or cast ballots? Or is this the new democrazy lingo?
Biden’s presidency is synonymous to the restoration of all American values that were lost in past four years...
The constitutional right of any eligible voters to vote and be counted can't be overemphasised....Thank you President Joe for bringing back class and respect to the office of the free world.
Key phrase "...at the ballot box...." Every citizen (only Citizens) should vote and only at the ballot box. No mail in votes, no harvesting of ballots, no one may touch another's ballot before it is cast. Integrity and chain of custody must be verifiable.
And rename the Edmund Pettus Bridge. This great man deserves to be honored by the John Lewis Bridge, where he spilled blood to advance civil rights.
We concur it is in the best interest of our citizenry but; we can bet our house the republicans will be on a obstructing warpath as usual against us!
Then end the filibuster! You know that's how this bill gets passed. Nothing matters until the Filibuster is removed.
Yes. And strong laws to make voter interference a crime.
It about time to: 1. Pay every American a living wage for a 40 hour week. 2. Make racism in public office illegal. 3. Fix the failing US infrastructure 4. Move to green energy and stop fossil fuel pollution. 5. Balance the Supreme court by adding seats 6. End the filibuster
Curious to see where this goes since Republicans admitted to our highest court that if voting were fair they would never win.
A vey important Act to ensure that all US citizens have fair and equitable access to voting. Surely what a healthy democracy is based upon.
Republicans don’t think they can win if everyone can vote. So they pretend the Democrats cheat. So if that’s true, every Republican in Office today needs to step down. Your ballot was fraudulent
It's pretty much clear, The Republican Party doesn't want Black people to vote.. When we vote in large numbers they lose Period
We can and will pass it, once we eliminate the filibuster. The filibuster is an old ‘gentlemen’s agreement’ — but there are no gentlemen left on the GOP side of the aisle. Do unto them what they have done unto us, and pass this law. Courage!
WAIT, if ALL eligible Americans can vote, then HOW will Republicans ever be able to control the country again. That is just "Socialism" or "Communism" or "Antifa-ism" or some kind of "-ism".
Every person should be able to vote without obstacles!
EVERYONE should be treated with dignity and respect like President Biden said many times and that certainly includes peoples right to vote and have their voices heard. Its a sacred right and the easily the better I guess since reasonable minimal criterias are met. May God bless President Biden and allow him success in defend that extremely important cause and get a good and improved law approved at the chambers. Can set up a fine example of full democracy to entire world.
This bill is an invitation to fraud. States would not even be able to clean up their voter rolls. This is strictly a power grab by Democrats.
You mean like with the Covid relief bill that will help millions of Americans that not a SINGLE Republican voted to support?
Great job Mr. President. Voting should be made easier, not harder.
This is just the corrupt Democrats attempt to remain in power forever
I can't believe I live in a country that has a rigged election. I'm moving to California where they know how to run a decent country.
Yes, in person, at the ballot box, and after having made sure that this American is eligible.
The guy knows the hurt, he knows how it feels to lose someone, he can smell the suffering in people and being empathetic is something no too hard for him. What do you expect from him? Being the most capable president that you can ever get!
Do a $15 minimum wage next.
How about reinstating and enforcing The Fairness Doctrine so all this partisan reporting has to stop and you can get THE SAME TRUTH to EVERYONE regardless of their preferred news source.
Yes, Democrats have found “new ways” to win elections during this pandemic and they determine to take advantage of it!
Time to help the American people not refugees!
They can. In person voting with proper valid ID, not ballot harvesting.
I just come here to watch all the Repubs.lose their minds and spread bullshit about "voter fraud", because Repubs can't win if everyone votes
When people vote 🗳, republicans lose
If Republicans insist in voter ID then insist that they help every eligible voter to get the ID needed. The two need to go hand in hand. Voting day should be a National holiday also.
Postal votes are essential and managed perfectly well by any civilised country. Some people find it difficult to get to a polling station as well you know. You are just anti-democratic and want to deprive them of their vote.
Hope you signal to Sinema and Manchin that it is time to end or further modify the filibuster to get this bill passed.
Including the American Citizens of Puerto Rico! Equality and Statehood for Puerto Rico NOW!!!
Can we also make Voting Day a holiday so we can ensure that everyone's voice is being heard?
No disrespect President Joe but while "passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and ensure every eligible American voice is heard at the ballot box" do ensure the election is free & fair cos the last American presidential election was a b!t cha¤t!c; Many believe it was r!gged.
You're the best joe! I voted for you three times!
It should be made possible, in this day and age, for every eligible American to be able to easily cast a vote. Despicable the devious efforts made to stop this from happening.
This bill is unjustified and unneeded, and would be a dangerous violation of state sovereignty.
I agree! Every American should have the exact rights across the board! End of story!
I really don’t understand the whole Republicans versus Democrats. I always thought we were all in this together and for the same cause. To have a great country!
Unfortunately there are many in this country who do not want EVERY voice heard 😩😩
Yes every eligible voter should be able to but LEGALLY and with proper ID and no counting ballots found in Aunt Tillies trunk fifteen days later
There are ways to do mail-in voting and ensure eligibility. The biggest voter fraud issue is dead people voting. Undocumented immigrants can't register to vote. Voter ID laws mean that having to pay for an ID is a poll tax. This was the most secure election ever according to Barr
Republicans will have some dumb excuse for voting against it — like, “It helps other countries!” Wasn’t that their excuse for not passing the stimulus?? 🙄💙🇺🇸
Why can't we all vote online? We each have our own registration number and there is DS secure log on. It makes perfect sense to vote online. No long lines, no voter intimidation or flipping votes at polling stations.
Hard working president thanks you for making America greater
I like John Lewis good man and let pass ballot vote. Joe Biden helping people the world 🌎. Stop complaining about price up and will go down gas . Every year same thing . Joe Biden best president helping American 🇺🇸 and country too. I like joe Biden president my decision .
To lead the country in support of the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and in support of the truer democracy that John Lewis believed in, you have to show leadership in support of filibuster reform.
Every American or every person with a heartbeat? I mean last I checked the democrats want to lower the voting age, remove ID mandates, allow votings on Sundays at church, rid our country of the electoral college and promise all kinds of “free stuff” to people... They love buying all them votes.
Yep with a picture ID, proof of citizenship, voters registration and no non requested mail in ballots.
Are you considering dead people and illegals eligible? Asking for a friend.
Can we please get rid of the filibuster?
It's time you passed the criminal justice reform bill. Black Americans helped you win. We would like to see some returns on our vote.
Why so you can cheat the American people out of the truely elected President again.
Every eligible American Citizen who’s registered with proper ID! BS on allowing ILLEGAL Immigrants (aliens) to vote! Again they’re ILLEGAL!!
Joe don't you mean, no voter I'd reqd, Xerox millions of mail ins, and vote as many times as you feel is needed.
President Biden, I wish it would. I don't see Republicans working with Democrats on anything for the people. No Republican senators voted for the bill that is for they their people also. They are focusing on 22.
We may not be able to end the filibuster but we can change the filibuster rules. ✅ Make the Senator initiating the filibuster stand and read. ✅ Require all Senators to attend this reading filibuster. ✅ Pass cloture with 60% of those in attendance not 60 votes.
As long as one person one “legal” vote with ID, mail in ballots or not, no harvesting... I’m ok. People have to show ID buying tobacco, alcohol, why can’t we use ID to vote for future of our country? Now the Dems want 16, 17 years olds be able to vote as well... I guess the Democrats have been planting liberal twisted ideologies into our kids for decades, now it’s time for them to harvest the votes!!!
Have a chat with a couple Senators and eliminate the filibuster. You don’t have the votes to secure the vote?
Yes! Though intended as a tool to prevent voter fraud, voter registration has a long exclusionary history, especially for African Americans. It was integral to Jim Crow and remains a tool for voter suppression. We must make registration as automatic as possible for citizens.
