The Left Fights Back Against New GOP Voting Disenfranchisement Bills.
Several states are trying to limit the number of voters after losing in the 2020 election cycle and voting rights activists are pressing for reform. (CNN.com)
“And this week, lawmakers in the Republican-controlled Georgia Senate added more. They include proposals that would eliminate no-excuse absentee voting for many state residents and end automatic voter registration when obtaining a driver’s license.
The voting bills in Congress — which Democrats have said are an early priority — would establish at least 15 days of early voting in federal elections, allow for automatic voter registration, restore voting rights to former felons and bar states from prohibiting mail-in and curbside voting — along with a slew of other changes to election and campaign-finance laws.”
Limiting voting rights and trying to stop vote ‘fraud’ go hand in hand. There is scant evidence of fraud in our elections and it usually centers around just a few individuals who do not have enough votes to sway any election. However, because the GOP base is much older and by default grows smaller ever day, their stop the ‘fraud’ message is more about ensuring older Caucasian voters compose as much of the voting bloc as possible. When more people vote less Republicans get elected and well they obviously dislike that outcome.
