Oliver broke down the attacks on voter’s rights through new, restrictive laws passed in over a dozen states

Chasteness, Soda Pop, and Show Tunes: The Lost Story of the Young Americans and the Choircore Movement

Oliver adds, “For years, they have claimed that there was an epidemic of voter fraud, despite the fact that actual instances of that are incredibly rare. They have now shifted their justification from something measurable –– what people are doing –– to something much less tangible –– what they are feeling.”

His statement is supported by Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, who stated that the voting bills are needed “because Americans no longer trust the system.” Although the claims made in support of these bills are overwhelmingly baseless, they continue to be pushed. Oliver offers a plan of action toward the end of the segment, stating that there’s legislation that has been proposed to address these aforementioned problems. But finding success in those requires the elimination of the filibuster, he says.

Could someone please explain to Mr. Oliver how the American government, like it or not, works? The president is limited in what he can 'fix' on his own. Elections are the province of Congress and state legislatures.

I have to agree with him! Im worried! We aren’t dealing with normal sane people here, we are dealing with insidious GOP BS!
