Republican legislators around the country are moving aggressively to strip governors and other officials of their power to change election rules -- after states made it easier to vote last year during the coronavirus pandemic and turnout surged to record levels.

The measures have been introduced in at least eight states with Republican-controlled legislatures -- including the key battlegrounds of Georgia and Arizona. Some bills would give more authority to lawmakers to establish the ground rules for voting, in an escalation of the already bitter partisan fights that have erupted following the 2020 presidential contest.

What's wrong with 'vote in-person with a picture ID for US Citizens, with the ability to request a ballot for those impaired or not able to vote in-person' like other countries? Have more voting stations in ALL areas Rich and Poor! This is bad because?

Will people ever figure out that cheat to win is not good for them? Never has been, never will be. Almost too late to stop.
