Voting analysis
Laurel Lee chairs the elections subcommittee at House Administration and has filed a constitutional amendment establishing that only citizens may vote in federal elections. The gavel and the bill point at exactly the same thing, which is rarer on this site than it sounds — most members' filings wander well away from their assignments.
It is also one of several constitutional amendments to appear across these pages, alongside proposals on the flag, on criminal immunity, and on cognitive competence for the presidency. All of them face the same arithmetic: supermajorities in both chambers and three quarters of the states. Filing one is a way of putting a position beyond the reach of an ordinary majority, and almost none of them ever gets there.
Of all 45, 40 currently sit at Introduced.
Bots and jurisdiction
Crime dominates her classified subjects by a wide margin. The remaining filings cover a prohibition on undisclosed automated accounts, a readiness accounts measure, energy emergency leadership, and modernisation of federal diversity jurisdiction — the rule deciding when a dispute between parties from different states belongs in federal rather than state court.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Laurel Lee's cluster into: Crime and Law Enforcement (19), Government Operations and Politics (5), Armed Forces and National Security (4), Commerce (3), Energy (2), Foreign Trade and International Finance (2).
Where she broke ranks
Two amendment votes, both lost. A rotorcraft safety measure she backed that also lost. And higher education access for territorial students, which she opposed and the chamber passed.
