This situation is the result of a president who tried to overturn the November 2020 election. Even before the election Donald Trump repeatedly said that the election process was fraudulent. He tried to take his claims to courts including the Supreme Court.
Just today the justices declined to take up an appeal from Mr. Trump that challenged absentee ballots cast in the presidential election in Wisconsin. The former president urged the Supreme Court to declare the election there unconstitutional and allow the state legislature to appoint its own slate of electors. Mr. Trump lost the state of Wisconsin to President Biden, and Mr. Biden was sworn into office January 20.
Sadly GOP controlled states are now passing new laws to limit future elections by limiting voting and making it harder for voters to return absentee ballots. Arizona, Iowa, Georgia, and North Dakota are the states passing regulations that require identification of voters, limiting voting to in person only voting. All these law are probably legal. Each stae has the power to set its own election rules. They are clearly designed to deny the right to vote to poor people who likely Democratic Party voters.
Georgia is just one of the 43 states collectively contemplating 253 bills this year with provisions restricting voting access, according to a tally by the Brennan Center for Justice.
As Dana Milbank of the Washington Post reported: the Supreme Court’s majority signaled it would be open to more such voting restrictions. In oral arguments, the conservative justices indicated they would uphold two Arizona laws that would have the effect of disproportionately disqualifying the votes of non-White citizens. One law throws out ballots cast in the wrong precinct, a problem that affects minority voters twice as much as White voters because polling places move more frequently in minority neighborhoods. The other law bans the practice of ballot collection — derided by Republicans as ballot “harvesting” — which is disproportionately used by minority voters, in particular Arizona’s Native Americans on reservations.”
Why are Republicans doing this? They believe that large turnouts result in Democratic Party candidates winning.
