Teresa Tomlinson on Civil Rights

Expand Voting Rights Act; end voter suppression

• I support legislation to correct the damage caused to the Voting Rights Act by the Shelby County v Holder case, and expand the protections of the Voting Rights Act to all 50 states.
• I support Congressional efforts to ensure our elections are free from interference by foreign governments or their agents.
• I support efforts to ensure the integrity of the voting process and improve our election security, including hand-marked paper ballots as the superior alternative for every election.
• I support efforts to end voter suppression and gerrymandering tactics that dilute the basic democratic concept of "one person, one vote," and which disproportionately affect minorities and other vulnerable communities.
• I support efforts to expand the right to vote to as many eligible people as possible by providing for automatic voter registration and same day registration.
• I support efforts to make voting easier for early voting and Saturday voting efforts.
