So Trump colluded with Russia in 2016 true, but voter fraud fake in 2020 although in both cases the courts came to the same conclusion of no proof.

Not a big fan of absentee voting, but early voting should be standardized across the country. Not sure why they think it would be cost prohibitive to keep a polling place/ ballot drop off open at the post offices for the 3 weeks leading up to voting day.

Cancel NPR! Lol

ChitStainsOnSociety Period

Inspired by their sadistic racism, confederate family traditions and empowered by voter fraud lies as a new politically correct wording that we aren’t supposed to recognize are those horrible traditions.

lies are about keeping control.. exposeHATE4PROFIT time to DefundFASCISTS and ALL who support them. Accountability is key in 2021!!

But it’s better than full-out voter suppression & making it hard to vote absentee. We also have age & other requirement restrictions. In the primary, no-excuse absentee, but not in the Nov election. That was shameful. I voted early in-person which is still considered absentee.

I think in this case, Gabriel Sterling has it wrong. My state requires an app for absentee voting w a gov issued ID & signature which is matched to your voter registration. The ballot return envelope is identified w a bar code which again, connects to registration. Not ideal

Who said the US is a democracy?

It's not inspiration if the falsehoods came from them in the first place so they can keep black people voting; your headline excuses their behavior by making it sound like they were tricked into being racists

Only way they can win-prevent minorities from voting

who’s afraid of democracy? Anyone afraid of voting? That’s the losers in elections. Obviously, not able to win in democracy.

Southern red states - afraid of the vote. Afraid of their own constituents. Gerrymander all you want but many voters are coming out to defeat the GOP.

I hope all organizations who believe everyone should have easy access to voting will not have any conventions or support Georgia economically in any way, shape, or form. Economic pressure can be very effective.

There are no falsehoods about Georgia voting.......they cheated and it was proven.

Straight out of the Jim Crow playbook!!

Racists, pure and simple.

Might have to visit Georgia in 2022 with some bottled water.

If they wanted to reduce voter fraud, they would disallow Republicans to vote. Joke Explanation: the vast majority of confirmed voter fraud has been for Republican candidates

Toothpaste/tube/dead horse.

They are inspired by self interest- nothing else. This is an oppressive and retrograde step for actual voting rights.

So closing polling places in majority Black districts, and having 7 -12 hour waits in voting lines for Black people, plus making it illegal to hand out water to people waiting in line-IS NEVER BROUGHT UP?

NPR headlines read more like North Korean propaganda every day

Voter-suppression at full blast. Unbelievable!

THEY are always plotting.....

Could we argue reverse age discrimination? Why do only ppl over 65 get no excuse absentee ballots? Most of them have plenty of time to stand in lines to vote, unlike working folks.

So you’re still not talking about how these bills are blatantly racist and target POC in your lede? The truth can only be partisan when it’s omitted.

What was their justification for the bill other than the obvious voter suppression?

Much easier to just prevent people from voting than trying to convince them republicans aren’t racist, homophobic and misogynistic.

Racist Republican lawmakers in Georgia, using falsehoods about voter fraud as an excuse, have introduced a handful of bills that would increase barriers to minority voting. Fixed it for you.

Very sad!

5 States do Vote by Mail by default. All voters are sent a ballot. Including very red Utah. Georgia is attacking Vote by Mail simply because they didn't like the results of the election.

Oh NPR you’re so last year and irrelevant. Now that you take all that dirty money, you just stink of it!

TimEdwardsZero4 So why would this guy, who stood there a few weeks ago said the election in GA was fair, support any of this bs?

horrible

Wow! What hack penned this?

This just in... HOES MAD.

This is white supremacy in legislation. Olu klux klan members masquerading as respectable members of society. They are anathema to democracy

I'm confused. Didn't HR1 leave out the felon voting rights?

Got_It 👊🏻

71,000,000 will NEVER forgive the left for the election of 2020. 71,000,000 will become ENRAGED at high gas prices. Have a great Spring!!

All of these qanon goons who think Obama and Biden and Hillary are actually just clones clearly didn't take into account that if Dems could actually clone people, the first person they would have started making copies of is Stacey Abrams precisely because of this bs 👆

Because heaven forbid Republicans actually have some substantive policy.

They were not 'inspired' by anything of the sort. They fabricated voter fraud to support their bills. Do better.

Hero 2 ZERO

If you can't beat them, illegally beat them!

How shameful. This is just like a child who tries to change the rules of a game when they realize they're losing. The GOP is truly petulant.
