11/09/2022 Tweet - "Folks, I'm thankful for the service of election workers that kept yesterday's elections free, open, and fair. The next couple days and weeks could still be subject to subversion or bogus legal obstruction, so I'm continuing to monitor the certification of these races."
11/08/2022 Tweet - "Today should be a federal holiday. We should have universal same-day registration, better campaign finance disclosures, and stronger election security practices. All this could have been a reality with our Freedom to Vote Act -- I'm disappointed my colleagues have filibustered it."
11/08/2022 Tweet - "With so many things on the ballot -- the future of our democracy, women's healthcare, foreign policy, and the continued existence of programs like Social Security -- it's critical to make your voice heard. Vote today."
11/06/2022 Tweet - "Here's the deal: I'll be watching the midterms closely because I am concerned that 2022 could serve as a dry run for further harassment of election officials, obstructive legal strategies, and eventually a larger effort to subvert the 2024 election. A thread:"
11/04/2022 Tweet - "It's not an exaggeration. Social Security is on the chopping block. VOTE."
11/02/2022 Tweet - "The continued existence of Social Security is on the ballot. Make a plan to vote."
10/29/2022 Tweet - "Election Day could be a federal holiday -- expanding access to the ballot box for thousands that work long hours or have distant commutes. All we need to do is pass the Freedom to Vote Act. I'm disappointed my Republican colleagues have repeatedly filibustered it."
10/21/2022 Tweet - "Virginia: early voting is now open! I'm proud to live in and work for a commonwealth that's done so much to increase access to the ballot box -- make your voice heard in this election."
10/12/2022 Tweet - "It's critically important that we update our antiquated election laws to stop the confusion that led to Jan. 6. I have a bipartisan bill to get this done, and I'm hoping the Senate takes it up as soon as we can."
09/04/2022 Tweet - "Democracy isn't a partisan issue -- I frankly can't believe we're in a political climate where the right to vote or respecting the results of a free and fair election is controversial. I'm taking action to improve our federal election laws and restore trust."
09/01/2022 Tweet - "Jan. 6 was a tragic day -- and it could easily happen again if we don't act to clarify our election laws. I worked on a bipartisan compromise to create clear guidelines and reform our antiquated laws. I'm ready to get it done ASAP."
07/26/2022 Tweet - "It wasn't easy -- but after months of bipartisan compromise, we have a framework to reform a 135-year-old law that was the foundation for Trump's plan to hold on to the presidency. I'm proud to have brokered it and I'm ready to get it done."
07/22/2022 Tweet - "Folks, you may have seen the news about our Electoral Count Act reform bill. I want to take a few minutes to explain what exactly is going in it and why I think it's a positive step for American democracy. THREAD:"
01/21/2022 Tweet - "Americans are broadly united on keeping dark money out of politics -- it just makes sense. On its 12th anniversary, I am reaffirming the need to #EndCitizensUnited and restore transparency to campaign finance."
12/16/2021 Tweet - "Folks, let me put it plainly: the restrictions on voting rights and the efforts to put elections into the hands of partisan operatives are outright attacks on American democracy. We must act on voting rights legislation now."
12/09/2021 Tweet - "Foreign entities should never have a say in our elections -- that's why I'm cosponsoring a bipartisan bill alongside @RepSpanberger , @SenRubioPress , and @RepJimBanks to help prevent foreign actors from donating to referendums and ballot measures."
11/18/2021 Tweet - "My statement on today's charges and sanctions against Iranian individuals and entities for interference in the 2020 election:"
