on the 56th commemoration of “Bloody Sunday,” the 1965 incident in which some 600 civil rights activists were viciously beaten by state troopers as they tried to march for voting rights in Selma, Alabama.
Biden’s order includes several modest provisions. It directs federal agencies to expand access to voter registration and election information, calls on the heads of federal agencies to come up with plans to give federal employees time off to vote or volunteer as nonpartisan poll workers, and proscribes an overhaul of the government’s Vote.gov website.
The voting rights bill includes provisions to restrict partisan gerrymandering of congressional districts, strike down hurdles to voting and bring transparency to a murky campaign finance system that allows wealthy donors to anonymously bankroll political causes. The bill’s fate is far from certain in the closely divided Senate. Conservative groups have undertaken $5 million campaign to try persuade moderate Senate Democrats to oppose rule changes needed to pass the measure.
Impeach Biden at once.hes a direct danger to our country
Politicians should be working to expand the right to vote for those who are eligible not suppress-the efforts of the Republican party to suppress votes is not democratic!
Yeah....now look up Bloody Sunday in Ireland.
Investing in cryptocurrencies is great,I have been dealing and transacting with Arthurfx08 for quite sometime and it's been wow, having steady profit from it.
An order? Who does that remind us of?
It's jarring not having the 'other guy' in office.
Women and black folks been fighting for this since 1917. It should be done and done
So he's making good on all his campaign promises. This is not presidential.

Awesome initiative by President Biden! This executive Order must be entrenched into law ASAP so a future president is unable to remove!
Never Forget!!
Forget you Joe Biden, I never voted in my entire life and I not about to start now to vote for stupidity and ignorance into the WHITE HOUSE to destroy America freedom. Hell no!
FoxNews headline: Biden granting felons the right to vote. It is so despicable knowing that the GOP has no way other than intimidation and hate-mongering to pursue its goals. Mark my words, The way they've taken will only lead to division and civil war in coming years.
Republican party doesn’t care about Peoples 🧑🏾👩🏻🧕👨🏾🌾👩🎓👳♀️👨🏻🍳👮🗽civil rights just as they don’t care or give a 💩about the constitution, why do you thank they will not confirm judge Merrick Garland as the 🇺🇸people 👩🏻👨🏾🌾🧕👩🎓👮🏻♂️🧑🏾👷🏻♀️👮🏻♂️👮new AG what are they hiding? Obstruction!
I'll be amazed when people wake up and realize none of those fuckers have our best interests at heart. Everything they do is about increasing their power.
We lost 4 great men last year “2020” who played a great part in “Bloody Sunday” Thank You President Biden from ending voter suppression 💙💙💙💙
I feel so blessed meeting Mr Arthur thank you so much for impacting new thoughts and changes into my life,i invested with him and made profit of $17200 after seven days of trade . Arthurfx08
There would be no “unwanted federal interference in states’ authority to conduct their own elections” IF Republican led states weren’t trying to interfere or suppress the vote.
IT'S A LIE. ALL ANYONE NEEDS IS A '' VALID I.D. '' PERIOD. THAT'S THE TICKET...GET IT...NOW ?
POTUS please find a way to make this an amendment or a law the next president can't repeal. Trump will come after the WH again especially if a woman runs. He appeals to the sexist & racists of this country. We must protect our right to vote from him & his corrupt Reps
Playing to the weak.
The only thing this allows is illegals to vote. The democrats think they have immigrants in their pocket. Funny thing they don’t care about immigrants just their vote. Wake up and stop being their pawn
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻This is a great accomplishment! Long needed! Many sacrifices including some giving their lives! We must remember them today! 🙏🙏

Oh. What does it say. Illegal voting rights?

Bloody Sunday was January 1972 in Derry. Otherwise known as the Bogside Massacre - British soldiers shot 26 Irish civilians killing 14. That is bloody Sunday.
Biden is going to far now with this executive orders now, we must mussel this dog, he is selling out our country & going to make it hell to live in by next year ! 21 million people have been foreclosed on & now staying in there cars & Biden is letting 4 million people come here !
Good.
Embarrassing history that Republicans pretend to forget and trying to bring back.
biden is the best president ever
Fascists still learning how to implement democracy
POTUS doesn t know what he is doing! DementiaJoe is sick
'Democrats... for House Resolution 1,... includes provisions to restrict partisan gerrymandering of congressional districts...'Goes to show that Republicans do most of the gerrymandering benefit most from gerrymandering.
I guess the free housing, education, college aid, subsidized utilities and food just aren't enough to better your life.
He was among those marchers and also got bloodied, right? I mean, he walked in every civil rights march that ever took place apparently. It's true...he remembers it that way. What an amazing hero!
❤️❤️❤️
southern selfish, ignorant, 'christians'........... and they remain.........
🙄 every adult in America has had the right to vote for over 50 years. Nothing historic here.
It's hard to belive that a bastion of Democracy is still talking about voting access. Hopefully this new administration will be the beacon of light for those who feel disenfranchised.
Yeah I mean it is pretty obvious that every person should have the right to vote and have voting access.
By next election I'll be able to vote. I'm not even American... And I'm a freakin owl.
Voter suppression by white supremacists should NOT still be occurring in USA.
While this of course is a nice symbol in the interim, we still have to get these sorts of initiatives into actual law so they cannot just be so effortlessly removed by a later President.
Open Biden
ThankYouPresidentBiden🇺🇸
Democrats founded the KKK & Jim Crow laws. The first 9 black senators were Republican. Dr. Martin Luther King Republican but Democrats want you to believe the oppsite. Fixing the damage?
Um... If it were so important why not pass it in Congress? You know, where laws are made. Progressives pushing this President as king model of government is getting old
Amen!
LChase_RA Virtually EVERY country in the world requires standard verifiable Identification to vote. The evil Democrats are trying to turn America into Venezuela.😡😡
I am waiting for book lovers to my page.
The need for this is a sad statement about America but by doing it he brings some hope back for a true democracy. GOPCowards are always trying to rip it apart. Their motives are greed and self entitlement by suppression.
I love my president. 💙

Citizens already have the right to vote. No amount of virtue signaling/race pimping will change that.
Can’t tell you how many bloody sundays there have been, can we give it a more original name
Republicans are anti-American.
Reassuring.
The same Joe Biden that steps on his tongue daily about people of color.
I still get happy when the phrase 'President Joe Biden' shows up . . . 💙
DICTATOR BIDEN!!!
And Republicans are against it. Because they want to make it harder for 'those people' to vote.
