The new GOP may have accidentally changed the definition of “s&m party.”
We should go for one vote one person, instead of the disastrous way is still done, electoral votes where people w/o integrity could change the vote if the people the represent?
Voting fraud, blocking voters, disrupting elections, sending minimum equipment to the colleges so people can’t vote, interfering with the voting system, rearranging the voting districts, so many ways every elections they inhibit people instead of promoting the right to vote
The GQP are no longer a democratic party. They do not want to be constrained by elections. They want a single-party pseudo-democratic minority rule. They aren't even trying to hide it any more because MAGA Nation wants the same thing.
Why would you limit voting rights? Right - because otherwise, you have no chance of winning. This is election fraud upfront and from the top. Disgusting. So many people died fighting for voting rights and you just want to destroy them. Awful.
Republicans only win by stomping on the rights of Americans! Republicans are suppressing Americans! RepublicansAreDestroyingAmerica
The history is only trying to repeat itself. No one will stop my vote.
THIS is the most blatant attempt to Steal Elections. The Irony is suffocating.
Wow, the butthurt is strong with the Qunt party
We need some national voting standards Like a 14-21 day early voting period and drop off locations besides the post office that are secure
stevenlouisreed So showing an ID to confirm your identity when Voting in a election is a bad thing?
That is so unfair to US citizens who would just like to perform their constitutional right to vote. How can they continue to do this to people. Will Repubs want feats of strength next? How about only the first 100 get to vote.
mary25jane Yes. Our governor has announced that.😠 ProtectOurVOte
Disenfranchising voters is the first play in their playbook.
Voting by mail should only be as absentee! Leave the states alone!
This is so very wrong. It all must be stopped now. SCOTUS...
Republicans can only win by cheating
So...gop fuckers?
We have a few months, at most, to pass a federal standard to override and supersede these fascist stratagems. Otherwise they will have rigged every election in all those states for the foreseeable future. It won't ensure their victory; it will ensure the end of the republic.
To cheat. We know.
I love how the whitest people think they can stop minorities from voting...maybe someday they’ll realize they themselves are now the minority!
conradkaz Can't win with the current structure so let's change the rules. Pathetic. What's next - only white male land owners can vote?
DianaHollins Call and support the For the People Act. Preserve, defend, and fortify our right to vote. Get corruption out of election campaigns for positions in government and writing/voting on our laws. It’s a simple ask. Please call. Support HR1.
In swing states all suppressed voters by the Republican legislators, should maybe wear a white hood that day, maybe they'll get a fair playing field in their RIGHT TO VOTE !
Makes perfect sense to me. When you repeat a lie often enough, it resonates exponentially. The election was not stolen. Democrats turned out because we did not want another electoral college loss. I wish it had been crystal clear on election night.
So democracy is down the drain?
Is anyone surprised? REALLY?
We cannot allow this to happen. We must get involved. Democracy is on the line!!
Because they have to cheat to win apparently!
they don't want the democrats, to have a chance of winning.
The people are allowing it. The rest is nothing more than excuses. No the rules and be prepared ahead of time if you wish to change it.
Gdad1 That’s because racists think hassling us works. I LOL because Black folks are going to vote. Cut out Sunday voting, we’ll charter buses for Church Group Saturday. Because now you’ve pissed us off effing with our grandmas. That’s what happened in GA but racists can’t accept it.
This is an excellent example of what's to come. But no matter how hard they try to bring back this nation 200 years. Georgians must not forget, and let them come to be. The work is not over, they show thier bad faith and other's their power.
Now THIS is literally what the second ammendment was intended for.
inskeep Truth of ‘Big lie’ is that 74 m voters feel there’s something BigWrong 1. Multi state unconstitutional rule changes by non-elected officers 2. Unsolicited mass mailings, rife for abuse as no signature to be vetted! Just wait! Truth always shines thru!
Because this is easier to do than real work.
Short answer, because Republicans lose when people turn out to vote. A significant part of Republican election strategy for the last 50 years (and more so the last 20 years) has been to place strategic restrictions on voting that affect mostly people who don't vote Republican.
Only way they can win elections
They do this amazing thing when you vote. They cross your name off with a 2 pencil! If you or somebody else tries to vote under your name...it's already crossed off! Easy to identify fraud at that point. Yawn, but yall just want to 'start the steal.'
Gdad1 This truly scares me...😐.
seems republicans always think to many people voting is a bad thing but never look in the mirror and ask why the majority doesnt vote for them ? YOUR POLICIES ARE ANTI WORKER AND ANTI FAMILY
Is this the same people who told us for 4 years that Russians rigged the 2016 election? all of a sudden don't care about election integrity? lol
If you are Black and Brown be educated on state changes be ready to comply with change make a plan to vote every election Republicans no matter what do We will continue to be heard! We will continue to vote!
This is voter suppression.
TL;DR: because if current trends hold Republicans will lose. They’re party is losing popularity, and instead of adopting more popular policies or reforming themselves, they’ve chosen instead to rig the popularity contest in any way they can.
GOP can’t win without stopping the voters.
I think it's time the Congress in action national holiday for voting which would counter most of this
lies are about keeping control.. exposeHATE4PROFIT time to DefundFASCISTS BANKRUPTtheTRUMPS and ALL who support them. Accountability is key in 2021!!
Using the word fix in this title is a big mistake. 'Republicans are moving to slash voting rights with 250 bills in state legislatures' would be a better title.
Republican voter fraud is code for too many black people voted. So now they're trying to make it harder for people to vote.
inskeep Most of these 'issues' that the GOP has with voting laws could be solved if the govt gave everyone a paid day off on election day.
The only agenda GOP Republicans have is to win at all cost, for power. Once they have power, they will pass more laws to infringe on democracy.
inskeep They know they can't win when people vote. Clearly.

We need voting rules to be universally easy to register even same day, to vote and many more places to do so. Voting by mail, dropping off ballots at town and city halls allowed. NH is a model to follow.
EverydayAmazed Gop: by any means necessary
It is broken, Election Day needs to be one day only.
They said hell nah to many black people voted lol
globalcitizenln We need a federal voting law where we all vote in the same way, with the same rules. States shouldn't be making it harder or more complicated to vote. Hopefully a federal law would reduce confusion & possible tampering & protect voters & end standing in line for hours to vote.
Fucking fascists, man! They won't be satisfied until only the people who look and think like them (see white conservative christian men) are the only people allowed to vote. The last 200 years of progress and ever increasing rights? 'Naw, that was mistake.' FML
You have to do something if you can’t win on policy and your base demographic is dwindling. The GOP suddenly not a big fan of democracy. GOP in GA justification: too much absentee places undue burden on election officials
Typical behavior of sore losers... change the rules. We see you. Your target is clear. You should be ashamed but we have too many data points to suggest that you never will be. Pitiful.
They won't be able to stop what God has for their evil oppression. All they have is a golden trump/calf. White oppression will not win! We will rise!
Despite the wording in this title, that’s probably a good thing. Last November’s election was a disaster and these things had a lot to do with it
If you put all your effort into stopping people from voting you probably don’t have a winning message.
Disgusting. Proving every day they resent democracy.
HR1
michikokakutani Dems see politics as a friendly competition rather tyan the life or death struggle that it truly is... Mainly because Dem Pols don't come from the 'Life or Death' Class of people
Limiting time windows & requiring proper id is not raising barriers to voting. It balances ease of access and election security. is knowingly disingenuous to suggest otherwise. Unless you sincerely think some voters are children. Which I don't. Apparently liberals do.
Of Course Republicans are trying to limit voting because they know that they would LOSE in a fair and all inclusive voting agenda. I am registered Unaffiliated as of Jan. 6, 2021 and will loudly voice the many reasons why we should object to all the bills that bars lawful voting.
Exactly what the founders wanted
Republicans can only win by cheating.
Imagine this fam! If you are still amplifying Trump, Jim Jordan and others - cut it out and stop immediately! BTW those who won’t must be understood as paid informants, misinformation junkies. etc
Whatever they do it won’t work. These people have a sickness in them that won’t change.. The God they serve is going to fix them... They’re done..
Guess to many black and brown people were voting...
This sucks but I’d love seeing dems still winning despite republicans’ efforts to not count their vote.
This is called voter suppression. Call it what it is.
EVERYONE KNOW BIDEN CHEATED!!
GOOD STOP VOTER FRAUD!!
Voter suppression really does seem to be the only trick left for the GQP to survive. Too bad they can’t come up with ideas that make people want to vote for them 🤷♂️
What needs to be fixed is the entire U.S. election administration system. Federalize it; run it everywhere with one set of rules; and create a permanent, arms-length body charged with this function, staffed by permanent officials.
Leave it to the Republicans
Of course they are because they know if mail in voting becomes available as it SHOULD to every American they will never win another election.
To steal election. It’s ALWAYS projection with the GOP. How can we claim to be the bastion of democracy while allowing republicans to legislatively remove fair and equitable access to the ballot?
When the Republicans lost, they decided it was time to reverse some of the very legislation/bills they approved/wanted regarding 'voting'. Am I wrong? I'm kind old, read too much to retain it all. ~ Any republican in Georgia following Trump will never get a vote from me and mine.
thinking republicans can fix anything is THE joke of our time
Several states have gone all vote by mail and that isn’t going anywhere. No way.
DEMOCRATS will lose if we don't step up, bickering with each other is becoming the norm..repugs often seem on the same page even when they are not. Remember the guy who grabbed..and kissed on the lips. I won't say his name, but he is their guy or some other form of him for 2024.
Why why why? I guess we'll never know for sure...
deepvard Racists do not want coloured ppl to vote for Democrats. Why else try to stop ppl voting ?
And they still consider themselves the party of all Americans? thesilentinsurrection
Reactionary laws should be illegal .... Dammit
Republicans know they are the minority and if they don't cheat they don't win.
I don’t need to know why. I’m past that.
It's because they know that they will lose their power if people actually have a voice.
TheDemocrats are jaded by the same partisan🐂💩as these restriction legislating GOP assholes. As long as they don't close polling locations in minority communities which is a court cases, this is the perfect opportunity to simultaneously kick their asses & shut their mouths
Real ID required to vote.
🙄🙄🙄🙄🤬🤬🤬🤬
Democracy is in War, there are people who don't want a Democracy...they bow to a single Man, who's image is of Gold. Who ridicules other Human beings by color, disabilities and Equality. There's a blindness that has no Empathy, No Justice. It's their Way with Gun's Violence.
Cowards.
You are not really trying if you ain't cheating.
Issue a Federal Voter ID - satisfies both sides
Y’all still believe voting actually matters. Same 💩 different “president”
If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.
There's no need to dig too deep here. It's because they're complete scumbags.
Fix You mean Rig? Steal? suppress?
Nice, voter suppression.
They are anti-democracy. There is no other word for it- they fear they can't win the vote, so they are trying to prevent people from casting it.
They fear becoming the minority in this country that they believe that they built all by themselves! Which couldn't be further from the truth!
If states try to limit voting in any way, federal government has to step in and protect federal elections
And the GOP continues defending democracy by blocking people from voting, so they can get a democracy that only applies to their beliefs and not of the majority. If you are a Republican, at least admit it in your mind (not here) that the GOP isn’t being patriotic.
smell their fear?
Would love a casual article and. Not just he say
at that point : fix=destroy
and why is the picture of black people? I can’t wait for the day blaxkhumans realize the Democrats just use them for votes and never do anything for them
For Republicans to lift a middle finger to the American people while they kneel at the ass of their golden idol is more vile than anything I’ve seen in five decades of following politics.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
The people will rise!
When your policies suck ... all you have left is to bar people from voting against your policies. It’s called survival of the dinosaurs.
Schumer had better find a way to pass HR1 with or without a filibuster still in place. There must be some clever ways around it to give Manchin and Sinema cover to say they didn't vote to end the filibuster.
Can't imagine many of those could be upheld in court even if they pass 🤦♂️🤬
If your 18 and eligible you can vote stop making up bullshit
So in other words Republicans considering cancelling democracy
Hey Republicans, could u not 🤷🏽♂️
