Retrumplican-controlled state legislatures are doing everything they can to make it much harder for minorities and the elderly to cast a ballot. Some are also trying to make it much easier for Retrumplicans to overturn the results of any elections they object to, i.e., any election won by a Democrat. The "win-at-all-costs" Retrumplicans have no shame. To counter the Retrumplicans' voter restrictions and voter suppression tactics, every Democrat in the United States needs to go to the polls in 2022 and 2024 and cast a ballot.
Here’s what key Republican legislatures are plotting next on state voter restrictions

In this poll, every Retrumplican proposal for voting restrictions garnered more opposition than support – and every Democratic proposal for voting-rights reform garnered more support than opposition. Whether it comes to voting, marijuana, immigration, abortion rights, gun control, the January 6 Capitol riot or any of several other major issues, Retrumplicans are hopelessly out of touch with the American people. Is it any wonder so many people are leaving the Retrumplican party? A recent Gallup poll shows 49% of US adults identify themselves as Democrats (30%) or Democratic-leaning independents (19%). Only 40% call themselves Republicans (25%) or Republican-leaning independents (15%).

The federal Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency declared the 2020 Presidential election to be "the most secure in American history” – but blindly loyal Trump supporters refuse to believe that. They choose to believe Donald Trump's Big Lie that he won the election but there was "widespread voter fraud" and the victory was "stolen" from him. Thus, we have Retrumplicans conducting phony audits and recounting votes that have already been counted. The audits and recounts will not change a thing. Joe Biden is President. Donald Trump is a loser. L-O-S-E-R. Loser!

Abbott is determined to pass new voting restrictions which will make it much harder for minorities and the elderly to cast a ballot. He will never admit that, though. No, he says he wants to "uphold election integrity" – as if "election integrity" was an issue in 2020. It wasn't. The 2020 election was the most secure election in United States history. Abbott also wants to prohibit schools from issuing mask mandates. After all, if students want to get COVID-19 and possibly die from it, that should be their choice.

Greg Abbott, the King of Texas, is determined to enact restrictions making it much harder for minorities and the elderly to cast a ballot. In July, Democratic legislators fled the state to prevent the passage of voting restrictions. King Greg has called for a second legislative session – and, at his request, the all-Republican Texas Supreme Court has decreed that Democrats who don't show up can be arrested and forcibly brought to the House chamber. Yes, this is really happening in the United States of America.

Retrumplicans in Arizona, a state won by Joe Biden in 2020, have spent months conducting a phony "audit" of votes in Maricopa County. Retrumplicans in Georgia, a state won by Joe Biden in 2020, are now going to conduct a "performance review" of Fulton County election officials. Two-thirds of Retrumplicans continue to insist – with zero evidence – that there was widespread voter fraud in 2020 and Trump won but the election was "stolen" from him. Attention, Retrumplicans: There was no voter fraud. Trump lost. He is a loser. L-O-S-E-R. Loser!

Retrumplicans in 19 states – so far – have passed legislation making voting much more difficult for blacks, Latinos, Asians and Native Americans. Retrumplicans believe Donald Trump's Big Lie that the 2020 Presidential election was "rigged" and "stolen" and they're doing everything they can to ensure that upcoming elections can be rigged and stolen by Retrumplicans. They're even trying to give themselves the power to nullify elections if they don't like the outcome. Calling Georgia "the epicenter of a battle for the soul of democracy," HuffPost political reporter Travis Waldron looks at how the state's Retrumplicans are attacking "legitimate elections" and democracy itself.

Voting rights legislation filibustered by Republicans for a third time
HuffPost, Oct 20 2021 3:18 PM
For the third time this year, Senate Republicans filibustered voting rights legislation meant to override new voting restrictions in Republican-run states that affirm former President Donald Trump’s lies about election fraud. The party-line vote blocking debate on the Freedom To Vote Act came after months of negotiations among Democrats to craft a compromise voting rights bill that West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin claimed could get Republican support. But Manchin failed to convince a single Republican to support the bill, let alone allow the Senate to debate the bill.
“Let there be no mistake: Senate Republicans blocking debate today is an implicit endorsement of the horrid new voter suppression and election subversion laws pushed in Republican states across the country,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on the floor after the vote. It is now up to the 50 members of the Senate Democratic caucus to decide whether or not to change the Senate’s filibuster rules to provide a path forward on what Democratic leadership has called must-pass voting rights legislation.

In 2018, North Carolina's Retrumplicans legislature managed to get a proposed Constitutional amendment on the ballot. It would require all voters to have a photo ID. The ballot measure passed. The NAACP filed a lawsuit alleging racial bias because the "Voter ID Law" discriminates against black voters. In February 2019, a judge ruled that the amendment is invalid. In September 2021, two Superior Court judges agreed, declaring the law to be "motivated at least in part by an unconstitutional intent to target African American voters." Retrumplicans refuse to give up. They are taking the dispute to the Supreme Court. Retrumplicans are doing everything they can to make it much more difficult for blacks, Latinos, Native Americans, the elderly and the handicapped to cast a ballot.
