(3/3) These are not partisan issues - in fact, they would have made voting easier and more convenient for all voters, regardless of party. The voters of Connecticut deserve better. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement. — PolitiTweet.org

(2/3) This bill would have: •addressed Election Day issues by improving Election Day registration. • codified an expansive automatic voter registration, and expanded the right to vote to parolees. •modernized our elections system by allowing electronic signatures. — PolitiTweet.org

Attempts to purge voters en masse in the name of "elections integrity" only further undermines the public's confidence in our democracy. And, when you purport to base those purges on "immigration status" using flawed data, it becomes voter suppression - pure and simple. — PolitiTweet.org

(4/4) This real need for a robust #cybersecurity apparatus in our state is why I requested funding for a full-time cybersecurity position in my office, and why I will continue to sound the alarm on the serious and current threat that foreign governments present to our #elections. — PolitiTweet.org

(3/4) The most important finding in the #MuellerReport may be that our elections were systematically targeted by a foreign government. It isn’t getting as much as attention, but it is something we must address today. — PolitiTweet.org

Attempting to use the census for partisan advantage is disgraceful. The so-called “citizenship question” was designed by the GOP’s gerrymandering guru to disadvantage Democrats and be “advantageous to Republicans and Non-Hispanic Whites.” Simply shameful. — PolitiTweet.org
