Later that day, Morelle discussed voting rights and election integrity. In his post from September 3, he wrote, “Voting is the foundation of our democracy. Every eligible American should be able to cast their ballot—and have confidence that vote is counted. Despite their rhetoric—it’s clear my colleagues in @HouseGOP do not care about ensuring the safety and security of our elections.”
