President Biden signs executive order calling on federal agencies to expand voting access as part of his admin.'s efforts 'to promote and defend the right to vote for all Americans who are legally entitled to participate in elections.'

In his remarks Sunday, Biden called those GOP efforts"an all-out assault on the right to vote."

"During the current legislative session, elected officials in 43 states have already introduced more than 250 bills to make it harder for Americans to vote," he said."We cannot let them succeed." Biden called HR1"a landmark piece of legislation that is urgently needed to protect the right to vote, the integrity of our elections, and to repair and strengthen our democracy."

"I hope the Senate does its work so that I can sign it into law," he continued."I also urge Congress to fully restore the Voting Rights Act, named in John Lewis’ honor.

HR1 remains Democrats' greatest hope for securing increased voter protections, however, and, as the official said, the Biden administration lacks the jurisdiction to override restrictive voting measures put in place at the state level.

Yep illegals I guess too bring it on 2024 Trump2024

Does this mean no more illegal aliens voting in AMERICAN ONLY elections? HUMMMM, Expand voting access? To everyone now in America including Felons in jail? Boarder Jumpers, Yea I think this is what the definition of Expand Voting is! Mentally Bankrupt.

Now all Biden needs to do is come up with legal voter verification and a one day election process.

He’s quite the dictator

And you thought there were 3 branches of government.

That’s great. Everybody should vote. With this, throw in an ID requirement to vote as well. If I need an ID to pick up a Walmart online order , you need it to vote.

Dear President Biden, 81,268,924 people voted for you to look out for us, the little guy. We need you to fight for us and stop giving into the Republicans. Stop worrying about what Republicans in the Senate want and worry about what the people who voted for you want and need.

Any conditions?

With each passing day, more and more Americans are realizing what it means to have a Bona-fide President (Joe Biden) in the Whitehouse and not some two-bit reality show wannabe dictator.

Republicans/Trumplicans are trying to prevent non-republican voters from voting and Democrats are trying to assure everyone can vote if they choose to. Which America do you want to live in?

Maybe he should write an Executive Order to mandate that only LEGAL Americans can vote.

If your vote wasn’t important, Republicans wouldn’t work so hard to steal it.

What a joke !

Expand it to whom?

Only Americans will be allowed to vote, right?

“43 states have already introduced more than 250 bills to make it harder for Americans to vote” VoterSuppression

Bro like this matters right now

Then he took a nap.

Most peopleare unqualified to vote.

HR3 & HR4 DOA unless Dems nuke filibuster

Jan 27: Trump made an offer to President Xi Jinping to send experts to China to investigate the Coronavirus outbreak & was trend down. My Mom got the Covid shot & she is sick because the vaccines needs testing. Trumps Operation Warp Speed needs more time.

Uh, I don't think that Biden has the power to do so. It is within the States.

Biden? Didn't T**** get reinstated this past week?

I'm waiting for some bleach sipping Trump supporter to claim that Joe is violating the Constitution by making it easier for people who are qualified to vote to actually vote.

Very good 👍

When a group believes in limiting voting it is a push towards authoritarian rule. Authoritarian rule ALWAYS ends in disaster.

Please make him stop

'Expanding voting access' AKA cheat!

Hard to believe that voting access is a real topic of discussion since all citizens have the right to vote. What’s wrong with that picture?

Let the people be free of terrorism! Sign an executive order declaring the republican party a terrorist organization - which they absolutely are - and expell them from Congress under 14thamendmentsection3 POTUS VP SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer

Maybe the US should look north of the border to see how election are done. Its a lot easyer to vote in Canada then the US.

I didn't read all that but I'm sure it says he's the best and if you don't agree it's because you're a racist

Federal agencies have little to nothing to do with elections those are run by the states. I'm not sure what his millionenth executive order can do.

What time is interview with Harry Oprah and the golddigger tramp?

Yes joe we should have legal voters who have been verified to vote

🤮

Hey Chuck and Joe end the filibuster to move America ahead.

Next laurenboebert tweet “only legal citizen should vote” lol, thanks captain obvious you’re on the same side as the president then?

YEEESSSS welcome new DNC voters

That's all this dictator does, sign EOs.

Everywhere around the world, you must show ID to vote. Even in backwards autocratic countries in which the elections are rigged and the votes are meaningless require ID to vote. Only in a 1st world entitled country is requiring an ID seen as a hurtle or barrier.

All your promoting is more voter fraud.

Yes!

How do we know who the legal voters are?

So... Why does the U.S. oppose China's measures to improve Hong Kong's electoral system?🙄

Why do people have a problem with showing legal ID to vote? Honest question.

Major Biden: From the White House to the dog house?The White House on Tuesday confirmed, sort of, that the report creating widespread speculation was true: First dog Major had been sent to the doghouse — back in Delaware. Expect Biden’s official entrance music to change from “Hail To The Chief” to “Who Let The Dogs Out.” 😎 So we dont have details, the human could have done something to. All good, he will just get some extra attention

Biden Can’t Let Netanyahu Sabotage the Iran Nuclear DealThis isn’t the first time Netanyahu has timed a provocation to embarrass Biden. I will never forget when VP Joe Biden arrived in Tel Aviv in 2010 and Netanyahu greeted him with the announcement of new settlements. If I were Obama I would have ordered Joe back on the plane, gas it up, and return to the U.S. IMMEDIATELY. Bibi would have **** his pants. Netanyahu keeps losing elections yet he's still menacing. Why do they allow this? He did the same thing to try to undermine Obama. If Bibi wants to work as a Republican operative, he should resign as Israeli PM, move to the US, and work for the GOP. Otherwise, he should stay out of US politics. Just my opinion.

Biden admin to end policy that let DHS deport caregivers for migrant kidsNEW: Biden administration says it will end a Trump-era policy that let US border agents collect information about the immigration status of people who came forward to care for unaccompanied migrant children so it could potentially deport them. Policy allowed DHS to identify and deport those would-be caregivers who were in the country illegally. It meant immigrant parents who came to the US and then later sent for their children to cross border faced possible deportation when they tried to pick them up from HHS custody. I absolutely despise this administration for tearing down the United States and selling out. Trump was not perfect, but he cared about our country. Biden will destroy anything Trump did just for spite and lobbyist money. A step in the right direction.
