Deleted Tweets From House Adm Dems, D-D.C.

@RepJenniffer: “These realities – and appreciation of and admiration for the United States – are why the remaining people in Puerto Rico – want the territory to become a State. We should not have to move to an existing State for democracy or equality.”

Congress can honor his legacy by enacting legislation to tear down barriers to the ballot and enrich our democracy.

Americans deserve the right to free and fair elections #Forthepeople. The COVID-19 pandemic should not force citizens to choose between protecting their health and participating in democracy. LIVE:

@HouseGOP's proposal falls woefully short of what’s needed to reopen the House. While our work is essential, we can and should utilize the technology available to us in the 21st century to protect the health & safety of the thousands of people who convene in the Capitol.

According to the Court,"It is undeniable that [the requirement] punishes those who cannot pay more harshly than those who can." No one's right to vote should be conditioned on their wealth. We applaud the Court's decision & will continue working to #ProtectTheVote.

BREAKING: The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed that Florida's law to deny citizens with a past felony conviction the right to vote until they pay all fines, fees, and restitution is unconstitutional. https://t.co/6cDQcgrSNf

"Sometimes the homes on the reservation don’t have addresses. And sometimes people don’t have homes. I’ve been a homeless veteran, so sometimes I don’t have an address. I don’t have a car. I can’t afford to get a new ID. I still think I deserve to vote."

"I voted many times for years before being turned away. I was always happy to go vote. Being turned away brought me down. It turned out North Dakota started requiring ID and addresses to vote. I didn’t have an ID with an address on it."

Barriers to voting for Native Americans have taken many forms. Two are particularly pervasive: - Requiring an ID (which costs money) & address (which not everyone has) is prohibitive - Long distances to the polls are hard to manage given limited transportation options https://t.co/lAaqcNxMtD

Think about the things that people are upset about — the price of prescription drugs, inaction on gun safety —think about the role that #darkmoney has played in keeping sensible solutions from the American people. So, we did what we said we would do. We passed #HR1. https://t.co/NU0x6Eod7a

... That tsunami of money had the affect of drowning out the voices of regular Americans, our neighbors, ordinary people who wish to have their views heard.
