- Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke issued an ambitious plan on Wednesday to revamp the U.S. voting system by cracking down on voter suppression and getting an additional 35 million people to the ballot box by the 2024 elections.
O’Rourke’s plan comes as many in the huge field of 24 Democratic candidates vying to take on Republican President Donald Trump in next year’s election are embracing voting rights as an issue. Those moves would require a constitutional amendment, which requires a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate and ratification by three-quarters of state legislatures.
O’Rourke rose to national prominence last year when he narrowly lost his bid to defeat Republican U.S. Senator Ted Cruz. He has struggled to gain traction in opinion polls since he launched his presidential bid in March, with his national support among likely Democratic primary voters around 4 percent.
