The Republican efforts to change voting laws around the country after Donald Trump's 2020 loss are often all lumped together as one push. And while they almost all seek to ameliorate fear of widespread fraud that no one has proven exists, the modifications sought actually fall into two distinct groups.
You have proposed bills that seek to change how people vote and ones that propose to change how votes are counted.
The former has received much of the attention from Democrats trying to counter Republicans, but it is the latter that is by far a clearer threat to democracy.
Recall what has happened since people voted in the 2020 election, and what has scared Americans the most. We've seen Trump charge fraud at every turn and try to get results overthrown. There were legitimate audits and recounts in many states that proved Joe Biden won the election fair and square.
Then we saw how fragile the election system can be. In Michigan, for example, officials in Wayne County initially failed to certify the vote. There were real questions whether statewide officials in Michigan would, even as Biden easily won the state.
In Georgia, Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger had to fight off death threats and defend the state's vote count from charges of fraud from other Republicans in and out of the state.
Arizona Senate Republicans have allowed a company that has no experience in ballot counting to go on a goose chase in its"audit" to find fraud long after the election. Republicans in other states have pushed for audits as well.

Good.
We need BOTH sides to count votes, not just the democrats.
Democrats only believe in democracy when they are allowed to steal elections.
“CNN via MSN”—Can’t think of a more reliable source than that!
Yeah, we just have a problem with Ruby Freeman and friends staying after hours to pull ballots from under a table of proceed to run them through the machines multiple times.
How rude of us.
We've never had a democracy and hopefully we never will. ANYONE that writes about the US being a democracy needs to be abused and vilified as being completely ignorant.
When conservatives circulated the “who counts the votes” meme last November, the “fact checkers” all denied that Joseph Stalin ever said it and “dinged” any posts that used it as “FALSE”.
But here we are now, 7 months later and CNN/MSN are using it to attack Republicans.
Yes, only Democrats can count the votes.
And not just Democrat secretaries of state who get elected with Soros Foundation money...
CNN
“no one has proven exists”
If no one looks, there will never be any proof.
Pravda hath spoken
They keep throwing around the term democracy, when were are a representative republic. The dull-minded CNN watchers get their programming from the Globalists and have no idea what Democratic fraud is. They want a permanently fixed election and to control everything we do from birth to death via DC.
The biggest indicator that there was massive fraud is seeing how fervently democrats are trying to stop audits from happening and discredit the firms conducting the audits.
In honor of Ruby Freeman we need to call voter fraud being “Rubied”. That will make the libs heads explode.
If no one looks, there will never be any proof.
On the bright side, we've moved the Overton Window from "there is no evidence" to "there is no proof."
Oh that fun standard of proving something is "widespread" to a hostile observer.
Show specific evidence in detail, and they will counter that what you have shown is not "widespread".
Show them the widespread evidence and they will counter it is not sufficiently proved in detail.
Peruse later.
