Andy Harris Votes Against Protecting Marylanders From Harmful Voter Suppression Laws

Harris once again votes to block critical legislation to protect Americans’ voting rights

Today, Andy Harris joined his Washington party bosses and voted to block legislation that would protect Marylanders from harmful attacks on their right to vote.

The Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act is more important than ever. As Republican state lawmakers introduce hundreds of bills to suppress voters and pass dozens of laws that limit voters’ access to the ballot box, this bill would expand Marylanders’ opportunities to vote and combat the GOP’s voter suppression crusade.

While Harris voted with every other extremist Republican against putting a stop to the onslaught of Jim Crow-style voter suppression laws hurting voters, House Democrats fought to protect the American people’s most sacred right.

DCCC Spokesperson Abel Iraola
“It’s clear Andy Harris thinks his party’s best way back to a majority is by suppressing the power of voters. If Rep. Harris is too afraid of his own voters, he has no business representing them in Congress.”
