Fact check: Does the ACLU oppose HR 1, the Democrats' voting rights bill?
The ACLU supports the HR 1's provisions to expand voting rights and while it has criticisms of the legislation, its senior counsel told PolitiFact that it has not formally opposed the 2021 version, saying "a serious legislative effort to restore and strengthen our republic is needed now more than ever." But McDaniel is right in that the organization says certain campaign finance provisions would limit free speech -- and the ACLU has formally opposed the bill in the past.
