It seems it just passed the House. It's the largest expansion of voting rights since the passage of of the Voting Rights act in 1965. This is a BIG DEAl.
Republicans call HR1 a "power grab" because it:
-Establishes Automatic Voter Registration
-Stops voter purges
-Ends gerrymandering
It's a "power grab" -- grabbing power back to the people.
| The task now is for the Democrats to end the filibuster and get this trough the senate.
| >>711f72 back to the people? Wait a minute... You assume that you ever had any power and that you will regain it now with just blue colored bureaucrats? Ths absolute state of voters, kek.
| Build an army, trust nobody.

Actually, I live in a country where voting actually matters.
Not sure what your point is but ending gerrymandering is an obvious step towards actually having your vote play a role.
| You can find the full bill here:
https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/1/text
and the section to end gerrymandering is explained under:
> SEC. 2413. Criteria for redistricting plan; public notice and input.
| >>743266 Will an expansion of voting rights fix the problem? No. Is it closer to a fix than doing nothing? Absolutely.
