Bidens freedom to vote act

...........  Introduced on Sept. 14, 2021, this bill builds on the original For the People Act (H.R. 1/S. 1). The Freedom to Vote Act comes on the heels of a wave of restrictive voting bills introduced in 43 states and passed in 18 states in 2021, and record-setting secret spending during the 2020 election cycle.

Tweetable quote:For months, the American people have been calling for national standards to protect our freedom to vote, ensure fair representation and increase transparency in political campaign spending. The Freedom to Vote Act is a significant step in that direction.Tweet this quote.

And importantly, nothing in the Freedom to Vote Act conflicts with existing voting rights provisions under federal law or limits the ability of states to provide greater protections for voters than those provided in this bill.

So what are those protections? The Freedom to Vote Act covers four general subject areas: voting rights, election security, redistricting and campaign finance.
