The bill HR.1 would fix dozens of cracks and loopholes in US democracy.

I support all of them, except one:

Preventing states from imposing restrictions on voting by mail;

I am concerned that your boss or your spouse might force you to vote by mail, and use that to compel you to vote as perse wants. Many US companies and managers try to tell their staff how to vote, and lying about what you did in the voting booth is your defense, which you would lose if you can vote by mail instead. I don't understand this item:

Affirming Congress’s right to restore the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which granted the Justice Department veto power over jurisdictions with histories of voting discrimination;

It is important to restore the Voting Rights Act, but does this bill do so, or does it only insist that Congress _could_ do so?

It will be hard to pass this bill; Republicans will oppose it. But they may lose the next election due to opposing it.
