President Joe Biden is expected to sign an executive order on Sunday to promote additional access to voting

The executive order will give every federal agency head 200 days to outline a plan to “promote voter registration and participation.” | AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh. It will come symbolically on the 56th Anniversary of the march for voting rights in Selma, Alabama known as “Bloody Sunday.”

The executive order, according to a fact sheet provided by the administration, will give every federal agency head 200 days to outline a plan to “promote voter registration and participation.” Federal agencies will be directed to notify states about the ways in which it can help with voter registration, in addition to being tasked with improving voting access to military voters and people with disabilities. Biden will also direct the federal government to update and modernize Vote.

That’s not lost on the administration official who said: “I think all of us are looking into a crystal ball about what might happen but this president looks forward to being able to sign legislation that comes to him to support voting access.”

Voting fraud :: ALERT 📢

It makes me sad to see our country so damaged. One man. Trump. Is still trying to run this country and the Republicans are kissing his ass and letting him do it. What happened to supporting the people who voted you into office? What has happened to Democracy?

He and congress need to ways to stop various GOP controlled states from their current attempts at voter suppression and gerimandering future elections by limiting dearly voting and mail ballots, just because they may not like the outcome.

Promote ballot boxes in every neighborhood , well guarded and monitored.

So he has no power towards this, why sign this order them? I'm confused.

BidenBrokenPromises

This means people from around the world will be able to vote. Putin gets a ballot.

seems like $ to help people register might be useful--including by offering to provide IDs to those who don't have them so they can vote. also $ to document where there are no post offices or drop-boxes in the vicinity.

This is how a REAL American president acts, to enable voting not to suppress voters like the fraudulent previous one.

Why doesn’t the GOP just come out and say it? They don’t want people of color and other minorities voting, period! C’mon people, wake up!

Biden to the constitution.....

Now my dogs can finally vote!!

More of this please!

If the right wing extremists would stop making illegal, voter suppression laws to prevent law abiding Americans from voting, we wouldn't need extra laws preventing the Republicans from committing voter fraud and election crimes. Republicans are the only ones committing fraud.

“Access”

Something needs to be done as racist GovKemp and Georgia are eager to pass voter suppression laws.

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.

Wonderful...

Thank goodness!

It doesn't take much effort to register to vote currently. Everyone who legally can vote already has easy access. It just takes a minimal amount of effort. Democrats act like you need to jump through rings of fire while climbing a mountain to vote.

Best president of all time!

Best president ever!

Woohoo 👏🏻👏🏿👏🏾👏

this will piss the voter fraud people off.

Like we need more voter fraud

Democrats activly worked to keep Green Party candidates off of ballots across the country - successfully in several states. Why should I trust these vote-supressors on 'protecting voting rights'?

States not the President write election law. Mindless Joe needs to resign.

VOTING SHOULD BE EASIER, NOT HARDER.

Make Election Day a holiday, damn it.

Is it to let illegal immigrants the ability to vote?

💖

Additional access to voting=Democrats cheating their asses off!

IAmSophiaNelson Not golfing? 🏌️‍♂️ 🤔

Great job Biden keep'em coming.

He has dementia which is why he hasn’t even given a press conference. It’s insulting how stupid the democrats think we all are!

The emperor has no clothes..

It’s once every four years ( most don’t bother in off years). Yet, you’d conclude listening to Democrats, we’re asking people to crawl through flames and broken glass.

So, he is working weekends?

After this, he’ll allow more voters across the border lol

Illegals don’t get to vote no matter how much Dems want them to.

What a disaster this administration is

Sure give us more access to vote for people who fucking suck like the POTUS 💀💀💀
