is our taxpayer funded version of Pravda now. There is no reason not to have ID unless u want to cheat yet PBS lies. Need ID to buy medicine, drive, go to school & collect benefits. GA law allows extra days to vote in case there is an issue PBS
InaJaffeNPR More Dirty Politiks from the GQP
OF COURSE
It’s time for the federal government to step in and legislate common voter requirements across the United States. These new laws are vestiges of the Jim Crow era.
We must stop this antidemocratic ploy.
Sadly I am not surprised. They were already trying to suppress the vote in the election of president. We didn’t forget the fake ballot collecting boxes and the people standing in line for 12 hours to cast their votes. Did we?
This is what happens when Republicans lose an election. It couldn’t have been the message or the messenger so it must have been the voters. Do away with those voters and republicans can win. So they blame us. SOP
More republican voting suppression! Cant take a chance of losing by legal voting
This sure sounds like it would really make accessibility difficult for the elderly and the disabled.
Look at the map in this article, then watch the springteen jeep SuperBowl ad. Tell me again how we just need to find our way to 'the Middle?'
Davidlaz That figures Republicans can’t win an honest election they have to pull some shady stuff to try to win it seems we’re going back to pre civil rights era in this country
nujhk Make all voting control a Federal issue!
GOP motto: we can't win if we don't cheat.
PUSH, PUSH, PUSH, SHOVE, PUSH, PUSH, you know, get some muscle, WHATEVER, WHATEVER it takes, no-holds-barred . . . just ‘w i n’ i t ‘ s e v e r y t h i n g, like, you know, in a jungle, kind of. Stop the steal, indeed ! !
Retweet this people👊🏾🥰🤟❤️🕯️🌊
Good
They can’t win if they don’t cheat
That’s because they know without voter suppression and gerrymandering they know they would go extinct.
That is just so wrong!
The party of suppression.
goldrrhae Republicans Law makers doesn't wanted to do what's Right,Look at Government Controlled,Still.lives in the 50's Republicans Law Makers are from Rural Towns Populations under 10ths, Yet Controlling City Folks,who Populations are in upper Millions
This is SO wrong!!!!
We better be wary.
DonaldJFeliceJ1 Voter ID is the most important requirement in our country if you can’t prove who you are you can’t vote
John Lewis Voting Rights Act now!
The GOP is determined to try and find a way to prevent certain people from voting!! It is so obvious anymore what they are doing and,yet,they continue on!! They are cheaters and judging from the last election they are not even successful at cheating!!
Republicans trying to stop people from voting. Very American.
They go low, we enact legislation to knock that shit out.
The only way they can stay in power in states they run. The end is near for you Trumpicans.
When I register to vote I have to show valid proof of my age and residence. What else should be required? An IQ test?
Why do Republicans hate democracy?
TNIndivisible Who does this help?
That is not how you spell D-E-M-O-C-R- A- C-Y
Lol. It could make it harder for seniors to vote as well since they might no longer have an id. Senior voters vote gop
'restrict voting' or 'restrict voter fraud'?
What in the f**k is this all about?! (We know.) BO made voting matter again & Republicans can't have that.
jweisswolf that's what they do - GQP - when they lose, they change the rules to rig the game ...
Republicans hate democracy. If they have a platform beyond the current blank sheet of paper, 'we hate democracy' would be a plank.
Republicans are afraid of Black and Brown voters.
No terrorist organization on Earth is working harder to destroy American democracy than the GOP.
I want no part of a party that suppresses the freedom to vote
Pass the John Lewis Voting Rts Act.
Afraid of the vote they are. Because they are wrong in so many ways.
Republicans at it again, doing whatever they can to suppress the vote. It is the anti Democratic Party. Or in other words, Fascists.
Voting by mail was a shit show
ChristineEliaz Things you do when you can't win for 400.
That’s what weak & toxic people do, they try to isolate and control. GQP are sick!
If I can go to any ATM in the world and securely get my account balance from my home bank, there's absolutely no reason I cannot vote online. Instead of trying to oppress voters, perhaps the GOP should increase their platform to include the working & minority classes they fear.
GingerLyn_V2 It's unbelievable
If you can't get elected by the voters, get rid of the voters!
About time...
Republican party is the party of white supremacy.
That's because the only way the GOP can win is to cheat and suppress your right to vote.
It's sad that the party has decided that no votes are the way forward. Every voter has the right to a vote and the world is changing away from the Republican/Trumplian way of leadership
Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. My mother is 95...she was happy to vote by mail to avoid having to stand. Disgusting!!!!!
KochNetwork ALEC “Exposing ALEC: How Conservative-Backed State Laws Are All Connected” 👉 “ALEC Exposed: The Koch Connection”
Voter suppression.
Mmmm.... People seeking to eliminate other People to Vote. Sounds like Fascism to Me.
Preserve white supremacy.
Here yet again is more evidence of voter suppression out in the open. They’re not even hiding it anymore.
Republicans love to talk about FREEDOM, and yet they allow the government to restrict their access to the polls.
GOP hates anyone not GOP.
Just means more voters need to register. People of color beat poll taxes, lynchings, shootings, blackmail, threats to their family & unlawful prison. Racist, threatened, fearful, greedy, gerrymandering & only hold others back idea people can be defeated. Focused fighting wins.
marceelias and DemocracyDocket, thanks for championing the response to GQP voter suppression!
So as I understand it, Republicans oppose voter fraud?
As the Founders noted, democracy is stupid. It should be hard to vote.
If Americans vote, Republicans lose. It’s as simple as that.
And in Arizona they want to allow the legislature to just pick the electors they want and go against the will of the the people. Why vote at all?
There was no fraud in 2020! The last way that the GOP has to retain power is through voter suppression and they are taking it to a new level. If we truly believe that all men are created equal, then there would be no gerrymandering or legislative attacks on the right to vote.
Damned democracy! All these vermin need to stop voting!
GOP are relentless in their efforts to undermine democracy. They target Dem voting groups & make voting more difficult & confusing. GOP lead in gerrymandering. Clearly they do not believe in equal voting rights. They attack the right to vote. GOP are a cancer in this democracy.
Sharedfield Does that mean there are no bills to expand voting?
I just don’t understand the objection to needing an ID to vote. What could possibly be the argument against it? And removing dead people from the tolls, how can there be a serious rationale for not doing it?
Davidlaz The Republicans took over the states because Democrats didn't vote. I registered people to vote. We go to festivals to register Democrats. We go to places where young people would be. Nobody was interested in voting. Now we are dealing with this. I
Restriction of voting is wrong. It interferes with voters and elections.
Best be getting ready now for the '22 midterms, after maximum gerrymandering of districts based on '20 census. It's going to be bad, folks.
JTaylorSkinner All a part of the plan. Leverage a bogus imaginary baseless voter fraud lie to inflict harsher voter suppression to prevent voting and maintain power despite being a shrinking minority party
Absolutely sickening & anti-democratic. The GOP’s only path to victory?
ak9stout Hey Rand, Is this what you call, “fair?”
Good.
Was this their plan all along?
ARIZONA!!! We read and hear everyday abt it! Nothing we can do!!!
Showing up to vote with an ID? Minimum requirements necessary.
This has always been GOP strategy. If we can't beat em Cheat em.
This is scarry.
SURPRISE!!!
None of this makes any sense. In Washington state we have been voting by mail for years. Easy. Get over it republicans.
Cowards
Reminder, America requires tests, permits to do the following: Cut hair Drive Hunt Fish But shouldn’t require anything to vote?
There they go again the white racist boys.
Only way those shitbags can win. They have nothing to sell but tired old ideas that have failed over and over.
The only way Q-publicans can win is by cheating.
This is very good news. Only legal registered American citizen should vote in American elections and our leadership should do everything humanly possible to ensure that.
Since Republicans can't win fairly, they'll cheat.
more of this to come as their numbers continue to dwindle
Sounds about right for Republicans, win by suppression.
Voter suppression is their favorite tactic. They don’t actually like democracy.
GOPQ
If your ideas aren't worth voting for . . . you keep people from voting as your way to win. Sick but it's been working for them
Is to make it secure. For every important aspect in life you need to show an ID. Voting is the most important but ...
WE NEED ELECTION TRANSPARENCY
To those Republicans who voted to impeach the former President Trump, you have my utmost respect for choosing your principals over party. We need more of that in our whole government across the board.
BrennanCenter And they can do it too, because they control so many trifectas at the State level. We are in deep, deep trouble without a federal voting rights law.
Not helping: When you can’t win except by Cheating, for $400 Alex.
Just following the example of Jeff Bezos who saw that mail in voting is bad and doesn't want it for Union voting
Why they gotta make it so difficult?
Have we overlooked this?
Tushy_FNP Voter suppression is the only way he GOP can win.
BrennanCenter Grassroots activists need to give VoterSuppression more attention. Stacey Abrams did, and won the Senate for Joe Biden.
The states have shown they can’t be trusted to ensure each American’s right to free and fair elections. Federal steps need to be taken
It's not socialism vs liberty or conservativism, it's democracy vs fascism - period. I'd rather be an American than a Republican.
That would be the polar opposite of “free and fair elections”, but as has been clearly demonstrated, they care only about power. Disenfranchising US citizens who they deem undeserving is their plan, because cheating and lying is their only hope. We need to stop them!
Dead people and illegal migrants shouldn't vote.
Good. Voter ID is good. Voting by mail invites fraud.
More Americans made their voices heard in the 2020 election, despite massive cost suppression tactics. GOP: (in agent smith's voice) More!
Land of the free? Not really
What is really sad is that roughly half of our country sees no problem with this...
I no longer have any faith that the Republican lawmakers are doing much of anything that really is in the best interest of the majority of people in the United States of America.
GOPSedition can't win without cheating
When people vote, the GOP loses.
GQP is anti democratic. They don't believe in mayority rights.
Brennan Center for Justice? NYU is a very very liberal University generally seen as liberal or progressive. So it stands to reason they would speak out against Republican lawmakers just looking to eliminate fraud in elections.
Clinging to power through voter suppression. The new GOP aka QOP get out the vote.
And this was not part of the coup? Dig deeper.
Instead of changing their policies to attract more voters, the GOP would rather SUPPRESS the vote. RIDICULOUS!
Restore the John Lewis voting rights act...NOW!
They're getting bolder. Sedition, treason, blatant voter suppression aimed at democrats who are already dealing with hard times.
Gross.
One word: criminal(s).
GOP dead-set on disenfranchising voters for their own political power.
They need to rename their party to wannabe communist are us.
I’m running as a Democrat in Utah to unseat Mike Lee in the US Senate in 2022. I’m trying to drum up as much support as I can. Follow me and let’s get to work.
They're getting boilerplate text from someone. Who?
What are they afraid of that every citizen can’t vote ?
