Hunter,

As we look forward to the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act on Thursday, we face a harsh reality: voting in America is becoming harder—not easier—thanks to a secret strategy by Republican activists to suppress the vote.

Last year, Republican state legislators in 29 states introduced more than 80 restrictive bills to require a photo ID, make voter registration harder, or reduce early voting.

We know why they’re doing this: because Americans without a photo ID are disproportionately low-income, disabled, minority – and Democratic. So on the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act this week, I’m fighting back.

I’m calling for a constitutional amendment to protect every citizen’s right to vote. Will you stand with me? 

Many Americans don’t realize that the U.S. Constitution does not affirmatively guarantee the right to vote. Passing a constitutional amendment that enshrines that right will give U.S. courts the clarity they need to strike down Republican efforts to suppress the vote. 

As Governor, I made it easier—not harder—for people to vote. I signed a bill restoring voting rights to more than 50,000 people with felony records, expanded early voting and allowed same-day registration. We even revolutionized our state’s voter registration process by creating an online system. 

Now, I’m taking one more big step: I'm calling for a constitutional amendment to protect every citizen’s right to vote, once and for all. Let’s honor the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act together. Join me, and sign your name today:
