Hillary Clinton called out the Republican-led crackdown on voting rights and urged Americans to fight for access to the ballot box in an op-ed published Wednesday.
"We are witnessing a concerted attempt to destabilize the democratic process and delegitimize our multi-racial democracy, carried out in full view of the American people. As Democrats, it's not enough to push back one law, one court case or even one election at a time. We need to fundamentally change the way we think about and fight back against this blatant, sweeping effort," Clinton wrote in the op-ed, which published on Democracy Docket, the progressive platform founded by former Clinton campaign counsel Marc Elias.
Republicans--who control both chambers of 30 state legislatures--have enacted 28 state laws since the 2020 election that restrict ballot access, according to a tally as of June 21 by the Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University School of Law. The laws in 17 states mark a new record for restrictive voting laws since 2011, when the Brennan Center recorded 19 laws enacted in 14 state legislatures. More than half of these new laws make it harder to vote absentee and by mail, after a record number of Americans voted by mail in November.
"Each of these proposals disproportionately prevents people of color from casting their ballots, and each is egregious in its own right,"(snip)
Clinton also chastised the Supreme Court, which last week ruled that two provisions of an Arizona voting law that restrict how ballots can be cast do not violate the historic Voting Rights Act that bars regulations that result in racial discrimination.(snip)
"The emboldening of white supremacists and conspiracy theorists during Trump's campaign and time in the White House along with the international movement against liberal democracy have exacerbated this perfect storm," Clinton wrote.

When will she drown in her bile?
Fortunately the American “Democracy” rejected her heinous.
Just what the Democrats are doing
i know.
When will she demand Joseph Stolen vacate the White House?
Consummate projection!
That balding beotch can FOAD
for all I care. How dimwitted are you to carry water for “piss and vinegar” Hillary.
It - the voter integrity laws - are not about “access to the ballot box” They are ALL about the integrity of the vote, the integrity of the voter’s right to know cheating in the vote is being thwarted as much as possible; otherwise, what is the value of YOUR vote? Nil.
Hillary, who said Trump was an illegitimate president.
And that blacks, women and gays were routinely told they couldn’t vote.
Without evidence.
Does anyone listen to that old bat anymore?
It’s racist to believe that minorities are too stupid to be able to figure out how to vote.
I hope racists like Hillary Rotten keep regurgitating their racist bile, for the benefit of minorities who are paying attention.
Kamala’s going to be the first female US president.
Actually, Ms. Candles, “We WITNESSED A SUCCESSFUL DESTABILIZATIIN AND COUP COMMITTED BY THE DHIMMICRATS AND THEIR PARTNERS ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2020!”
Now, Madame Klintoon, just crawl back under your rock and expire, already!

Democrats only believe in democratic elections when they are allowed to steal them.
PS
Que Mala?
The “being tossed into the van like a sack o’ potatoes” video NEVER gets old. :-D
P.S. “tossed” is a gross exaggeration. Those that had to lift her pewter-like mass probably all got hernias.
Give the Democrats credit: they continue their Borg-like mantra day-in and day-out regardless of how ridiculous it sounds.
Never allow facts to interfere with a good narrative.
Blacks, gays and women were not allowed to vote, yet still Joe and Ho are in office. So then what’s the problem, white men did a great job (especially the ones who run Dominion Voting Systems).
“We are witnessing a concerted attempt to destabilize the democratic process...”
Dang if Democrats don’t accuse others of exactly what they themselves are up to EVERY TIME. You would think they would catch on, and realize they were outing themselves, or just forget to do it, but this behavior must have been drilled as a mantra into their heads at propaganda training camp. These people do look like cultists.
