I believe that free and fair elections are essential to our democracy. In addition to my legislation on campaign funding, the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act (BCRA), which President George W. Bush signed into law in March 2003, I have supported election reform legislation. In the 107th Congress, I supported the Equal Protection of Voting Rights Act of 2001, which established federal voting standards and provided needed resources to states and localities to ensure that all Americans have fair and equal access to polling places. I supported the final version of this bill and I will continue to urge Congress to monitor the implementation of this law to be certain that the photo identification requirement will not hamper citizens from casting their votes.

I also believe that full voting representation in Congress for District of Columbia residents is long overdue. That is why I am a strong supporter of the "No Taxation Without Representation Act." I also believe that ex-felons who have paid their debt to society should be allowed to reclaim their right to vote and have supported legislation to do just that.
