Morelle host roundtable with local officials and organizations about election security “President Trump continues to threaten access to the polls for millions of Americans,” said Schneider . “Trump has repeatedly pushed for passage of his so-called SAVE America Act that would make it harder to vote for millions of citizens, including deployed service members, disabled Americans, and individuals who change their name after marriage while voting by mail himself. And there are real concerns about other Administration actions in the coming weeks. Americans deserve to have full trust in our electoral system and faith that their vote will be counted fairly. I was proud to host this important convening alongside my friend and colleague Ranking Member Morelle who has been a steadfast leader in election security and ensuring the American people’s voices are heard. We will take the concerns we heard today back to Washington to advance commonsense solutions that ensure everyone has free and fair access to the ballot box.” “Donald Trump’s election interference schemes are designed to undermine Americans’ confidence in our elections. But our elections are secure, we are prepared, and we are fighting back. Millions of Americans have already cast their ballots, and Election Day is fast approaching. Americans should check their registration status, vote early where available, and encourage their loved ones to make a plan to vote,” said Ranking Member Joe Morelle. Last month, Rep. Schneider joined more than 250 current and former lawmakers to urge the Supreme Court to block President Trump’s executive order that would require states to provide a citizenship verification list to the Department of Homeland Security and give the Postal Service control over who can vote by mail. Millions of Americans utilize mail-in voting including deployed service members, seniors, and disabled Americans.
