Rep. Sewell Statement on Supreme Court Decision on Mail-In Voting

Washington D.C. - Today, U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell (AL-07) released the following statement on the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court clearing the way for President Trump's restrictions on mail-in voting: " President Trump is terrified of losing at the ballot box in November. He knows his policies are raising costs and hurting families, so instead of changing course, he is trying to change the rules to make it harder for Americans to vote. It is shameful that the Supreme Court would allow these restrictions to proceed - especially when we know that voting by mail is safe, secure, and used by millions of Americans, including President Trump himself. With just weeks left until the midterm elections, this decision will cause chaos and confusion for voters across the nation. "As a daughter of Selma and the top Democrat on the Elections Subcommittee, I will not stand for these attacks on the ballot. I will keep fighting to protect the right to vote and ensure every eligible American can make their voice heard." ###
