Messaging Guidance: American Confidence in Elections Act (ACE)

Topline Messaging on the ACE Act

• The ACE Act is an anti-voter bill that will disenfranchise millions of voters and boost the influence of billionaires and corporations in our elections.

• By increasing the role of money in politics and making it harder for millions of Americans to vote, the ACE Act would only serve to benefit wealthy and corporate interests and would block progress on the critical issues that matter to our communities.

• The anti-voter & pro-corporate ACE Act will silence the voices of everyday people through putting up restrictive barriers to voting and increasing the influence of billionaires and corporations in our elections.

• We need a democracy that works for all of us – not just billionaires and special interests. The ACE Act would increase the role of big and secret money in politics at the expense of every people.

• Most of us believe our democracy is stronger when it includes all of us. But right now, extremists in Congress are pushing the anti-voter ACE Act, which would disenfranchise millions of people by putting up barriers to voting, and would drown out the voices of everyday people by increasing the influence of billionaires and special interests in our elections.

• Don’t be fooled by the “American Confidence in Election Act.” Despite its name, the reality is this is an extreme anti-voter pro-corporate wish list disguised as something that would strengthen our elections.

• The ACE Act would further restrict the rights and voices of the residents of the District of Columbia, who already lack full representation in Congress.
