“No, I won’t let you control me anymore” *he breaks free from their control with indomitable will, at least hopefully* “I’ll use every bit of my godlike power to defeat you all and save cosmos world!”

The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act would strengthen voting rights by expanding and strengthening the government's ability to respond to voting discrimination. H.R. 14
LGBTQ People and Voting Discrimination
Transgender people are particularly vulnerable to voting discrimination and disenfranchisement due primarily to challenges around valid identification documents. Many transgender people do not have forms of ID that reflect their true gender identity, either because they are in the process of changing their documents or because they face financial or legal barriers to doing so.
In addition, many LGBTQ people face compounded discrimination based on other characteristics, including race, age, disability, and economic status. These vulnerabilities weaken our entire community’s voting power.
A 2019 HRC Foundation survey found that fear of or experiencing discrimination led 22% of LGBTQ adults, 35% of LGBTQ adults of color, 49% of transgender adults, and 55% of transgender adults of color to avoid voting in at least one election in their lives.
It also found that an issue with meeting voter identification requirements prevented 24% of LGBTQ adults, 35% of LGBTQ people of color, 42% of transgender people from voting in at least one election in their lives.
Furthermore, 46% of transgender people of color said they did not vote in one or more elections in their lives specifically because their ID had an incorrect gender marker, name, or photo.
What is the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act?
Fortunately, the Supreme Court’s decision was limited in scope and recommended Congress create a new formula. The John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act does just that and restores the protections of the Voting Rights Act by:
Modernizing the VRA’s formula determining which states and localities have a pattern of discrimination;
Ensuring that last-minute voting changes do not adversely affect voters by requiring officials to publicly announce all voting changes at least 180 days before an election; and
Expanding the government’s authority to send federal observers to any jurisdiction where there may be a substantial risk of discrimination at the polls on Election Day or during an early voting period.
