John,
House Republicans just dropped a bill they’re calling the “Make Elections Great Again Act.” Don’t let the name fool you – it’s one of the most aggressive voter suppression schemes we’ve seen in years.
This bill would:
- Require strict photo ID to vote
- Force proof of citizenship to register – even for people already on the rolls
- Purge voter rolls every 30 days
-
Ban universal vote-by-mail
- Green-light lawsuits against election officials doing their jobs
An estimated 21 million Americans don’t have proof of citizenship readily available. Millions more rely on mail voting because of work schedules, caregiving, disability, or distance. That’s not a bug of this bill – it’s the point.
Donald Trump has been blunt about why this is happening. He knows he’s unpopular. He knows midterms are coming. And he knows the only way Republicans hold power is by shrinking the electorate.
At GOTV PAC, we don’t just sound the alarm – we organize against it. We fund direct voter outreach, protect access at the ground level, and help campaigns reach voters Republicans are trying to erase from the system.
That work takes resources – and it takes them now, before suppression laws can do real damage.
If you’re ready to fight back, chip in whatever you can today to help us protect voters and defend democracy where it actually happens: face-to-face, door-to-door, and ballot-by-ballot.
