A nationwide poll shows U.S. confidence in fair elections has fallen to one of the lowest points in recent years. Many Americans are anxious about access to voting and the integrity of the election system.

At the same time, communities across the country marked the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, commemorating the historic struggle for voting rights. While these events honor the past, modern battles over redistricting, voter ID laws, and federal protections continue to spark debate.

In Congress, fights over election legislation have intensified, highlighting a broader concern: the future of American democracy is at a critical moment. Millions of citizens are watching closely, aware that decisions today will shape the fairness and accessibility of elections for years to come.
