ON FEBRUARY 18TH Barry Fleming, a Republican state representative from Georgia, introduced a bill to the newly created Special Committee on Election Integrity that, if passed, would limit both early and in-person voting in future elections. Among other restrictions, the bill would eliminate early voting on Sunday, when black churches organise “souls to the polls” events to mobilise congregants.
Mr Fleming’s bill is by no means the only new proposal ostensibly aimed at curbing fraud but in fact intended to make voting harder, especially for non-white and younger citizens, who tend to vote for Democrats. . Aby the Brennan Centre for Justice, a think-tank at New York University, finds that Republican lawmakers across 45 states have proposed at least 253 new laws to make voting harder, up from roughly 35 such proposals at the beginning of February last year.
The proposed bills obstruct voting by, among other things, narrowing who is allowed to cast mail-in ballots, restricting the window of time voters have to request and submit their ballots, and eliminating automatic and election-day voter registration. Republicans have introduced the most bills in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona—the battleground states that delivered President Joe Biden his electoral-college victory in November.
One of the perverse features of America’s political system is that legislators enjoy nearly unrestricted ability to change the laws governing their own elections, and that state legislatures can thus affect the outcome of a presidential election.
It's clear that the Insurrectionist GOP will stop at nothing to worm their way back into the White House! It's hardly surprising, they are now trying to bring back some of the old 'Jim Crow Manoeuvres ' to prevent black people from exercising their fundermental right to vote!😲?
The Insurrectionists GOP are at it again! First they stormed the Capital Building resulting in the deaths of five people, in a futile attempt to steal the election! No doubt, people will see them for who they really are, just a bunch of losers!😲?
Taragolf1 Never vote for a Republican from the current morally and ethically bereft Republican party.
The Dems cheated Bernie out of the nomination twice, so lets not say these laws are 'suppression.'
Please finish your sentence...'to one legal vote per person.'
Yep. Here comes the voter suppression. Just more reason for the Democrats to pass HR1 and protect American democracy for generations to come. For those curious: I made a video about Voter Suppression and how it can be stopped (around 10 min):

“Republican” is an empty word. Republicans never have existed and will never exist: *res publica* (the public thing) is an illusion, like *res cogitans* (the thinking substance).
