A liberal group is launching a $3.2 million advertising campaign this week to build public support for a federal campaign finance and voting bill that critics argue would counter efforts by states to improve election security.

The ad from End Citizens United ticks through changes to voting, ethics and campaign finance rules that could come about if Congress passed the Democratic Party-backed bill.

The national TV ad buy starts Tuesday and will run through April 30. It's part of $30 million advertising and mobilization campaign by the leftist group and allied organizations, Let America Vote and the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, to encourage Democrat senators to back the bill.

Groups on the left and right are gearing up for costly battles over the Democratic-backed legislation, which would bring sweeping change to the way campaigns are funded and weaken voting security.

The legislation, which passed the Democrat-controlled US House earlier this month, faces tough odds in the narrowly divided Senate, where the 60-vote threshold to end a filibuster makes it hard to overcome opposition to the bill.

Around the country, legislatures in key states, such as Arizona and Georgia, are moving swiftly to protect voting after questionable voting methods in the 2020 election saw Democrats win the White House and the majority in the US Senate.

Bills under consideration this week in Georgia would strengthen voter ID requirements for absentee voting, give state officials more oversight over local elections and make it a misdemeanor to ply people stuck in long voting lines with food and drinks.

The Democrats US Senate bill would require states to have at least 15 days of early voting in federal elections, allow for automatic and same-day voter registration, give voting rights to convicted felons and bar states from prohibiting insecure mail-in and curbside voting.

And on campaign finance, the bill would require nonprofit groups that engage in politics to expose their larger donors to leftwing 'cancel culture'.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and others have cast the bill as an example of federal overreach. McConnell said eliminating the filibuster would lead to a "scorched-earth Senate" and "chaos."
