HR 1:
Requires states to offer same day voter registration, can have voter ID laws but must accept a sworn affidavit of identity in the alternative, must allow all persons to receive vote by mail ballot upon request. Election day is a federal holiday. And several more provisions to expand voting rights.
Also, this may be the best part: all states must do re-districting through a commission consisting of 5 democrats, 5 republicans, and 5 independents. This could be the end of partisan gerrymandering.
Already passed the House in 2019, been sitting on McConnell's desk ever since.
And if you needed any further convincing, the repugs are frothing at the mouth over it, using apocalyptic rhetoric, claiming it will be the end of America. Gee, what are they so afraid of?
Write your Senator. They must end the filibuster at least for the limited purpose of passing this bill. It is more important than the stimulus bill and any other conceivable piece of legislation they could pass. It would be the signature achievement of the Biden administration, and of the democratic party for a generation.
