Beto O'Rourke unveils voting rights plan to get 35 million more to the polls
- Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke issued an ambitious plan on Wednesday to revamp the U.S. voting system by cracking down on voter suppression and getting an additional 35 million people to the ballot box by the 2024 elections.
They say Republican leaders in states such as Georgia have been purging voter rolls and passing laws that suppress voter turnout, particularly among people of color, something Republicans deny. They say their laws are designed to stop voter fraud. Voting rights advocates say the number of documented cases of voter fraud in the United States is extremely small.
O'Rourke, 46, said as president he would spearhead a nationwide effort to allow voters in every state to register on election day, and to make registration automatic every time a citizen does business with a government office, such as getting a driver's license.
