"The right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy. Over the years, millions of Americans have made the ultimate sacrifice to earn and defend voting rights. As elected leaders, we should work to increase voting and participation in the democratic process, not create new unnecessary roadblocks. With just five days left in the legislative session, it's unfortunate that Republican leaders are focused on making it harder for Missourians to vote instead of making it easier for families to afford health care or higher education. Then again, after four years of moving our state backwards, perhaps we shouldn't be surprised by our opponents' misplaced priorities." |
