Support democracy reforms, including public matching funds systems for congressional and presidential campaigns, automatic voter registration, redistricting reforms, and strengthened campaign finance laws and enforcement. Support the Freedom To Vote Act (S. 1 / H.R. 11), which would: provide voting rights protections; establish automatic voter registration; curb partisan gerrymandering; provide protections for state and local election workers; help eliminate the influence of dark money in elections; and provide incentives for small donations to federal candidates. Support the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (S. 4 / H.R. 14) which would restore, strengthen, and modernize the voting rights protections included in the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Support the Government By The People Act (H.R. 8572) which would create a small-donor public financing program for House candidates. Support Protect Elections From Deceptive AI Act (S. 2770), AI Transparency in Elections Act of 2024 (S. 3875), and Preparing Election Administrators for AI Act (S. 3897), legislation aimed to protect federal elections from the growing threat of deceptive AI-generated content (deepfakes), as well as misinformation in elections. Support the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) proposal to ensure transparency in the use of AI-generated content in political advertisements on TV and radio, especially when the AI-generated content falsely depicts a candidate or persons saying or doing something that they never did with the intent to cause harm or deceive voters (known as deepfakes). Support the U.S. Election Assistance Commissions creation of a digital accessible form filler tool on voter.gov, especially with improvements, as a failsafe for voter-eligible citizens who have difficulty accessing voter registration applications through their own states, in keeping with Executive Order 14019.
