Susan testifies before the Subcommittee on Elections about her bill to expand “No Excuse” Absentee Voting to all American voters.

Election Reform

A former President of the San Diego League of Women Voters and a member of the U.S. House Administration Committee's Subcommittee on Elections, Susan has a strong interest in bettering federal elections.

Susan has introduced inexpensive common sense election reform measures which would greatly increase security, efficiency and participation in federal elections. 

The Universal Right To Vote By Mail Act (HR 1604) --This bill would allow voters in all states to vote by mail for any reason.  Twenty-seven states currently allow no-excuse absentee voting and it is very popular there.  In the other states, voters must have a specific reason such as age, disability or travel to request an absentee ballot.  In these states, work and childcare are often not valid reasons to vote by mail. 

This bill would make voting more convenient and would level the playing field by allowing all voters the same opportunity. It also removes such additional requirements as notary signatures, doctor’s notes and invasive personal information requests.
