“#House passes extensive voting rights bill<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

House Democrats passed a sweeping voting rights bill over Republican opposition late Wednesday. <\/p>\n

The For the People Act, also known as House Resolution 1, was app<\/a>roved along party lines on a 220-210 vote. <\/p>\n

The legislation aims to lower voting barriers, expand access to the polls, put an end to partisan gerrymandering and set up public funding for congressional races. <\/p>\n

It would also require states to offer mail-in ballots, same-day voter registration and a minimum of 15 days of early voting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we are doing in this fight that we\u2019re engaged in is to empower the people. This is called the For The People bill,\u201d House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said at an event on the Capitol steps before the vote. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd in doing so, we combat big, dark, special-interest money in politics and amplify the voice of the American people,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n

Republicans have previously slammed the measure saying it would ultimately benefit Democrats through higher turnout. <\/p>\n

\u201cDemocrats want to use their razor-thin majority not to pass bills to earn voters\u2019 trust, but to ensure they don\u2019t lose more seats in the next election,\u201d House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said on the House floor Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Biden administration \u2014 which has been a strong proponent of the bill \u2014 praised the policy\u2019s approval. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn the wake of an unprecedented assault on our democracy, a never before seen effort to ignore, undermine, and undo the will of the people, and a newly aggressive attack on voting rights taking place right now all across the country, this landmark legislation is urgently needed to protect the right to vote and the integrity of our elections, and to repair and strengthen American democracy,\u201d the White House said in a statement<\/a>. <\/p>\n
