Wisconsin Congressman sponsors sweeping election reform legislation

Congressman Bryan Steil’s MEGA Act has a laundry list of goals. It would require photo ID to vote, require states to verify citizenship during voter registration, require strong voter list maintenance, require mail-in ballots to be received by the close of polls on Election Day (with exceptions for military members overseas), and require states to use auditable paper ballots. It would also ban ballot harvesting, ban ranked choice voting and ban universal vote by mail.

“This bill is designed to make voting harder, especially for seniors, working parents and people who work second shift, third shift, or just who don’t have normal hours. Fewer people will be able to cast a ballot,” said Bianca Shaw, state director for Common Cause Wisconsin.
