Vulnerable Republican Beth Van Duyne joins her party in voting to continue allowing states to enact discriminatory laws that make it harder to vote
Today, Rep. Beth Van Duyne (TX-24) voted against H.R. 4, the landmark John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore and strengthen anti-discrimination enforcement authorities in the Voting Rights Act of 1965. As Texas Republicans dominate headlines for pushing one of the most restrictive, draconian voter suppression bills in the country, Beth voted to continue to allow states to restrict access to the ballot box, especially for voters of color, low income voters, seniors, service members, and voters with disabilities.
“Republicans like Beth Van Duyne would rather choose their voters than the other way around,” said DCCC spokesperson Monica Robinson. “Instead of actually passing policies that help hard working Americans, Beth once again sided with those in her party who are trying to change the rules to keep Texans from voting.”
