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 she finally croaks that clip should be her epitaph.
Good.
Democracy is killing us.
“...the international movement against liberal democracy...”
Hildebeast is killing me with her “reflections”. She should do standup. These leftists are sworn enemies of liberal democracy.
Nothing but 1960’s Rules for Radicals crap. Accuse your accusers of your own deeds, thus innoculating yourself from scrutiny. Every day!
Not a White Hitler Youth group is it? Sure looks like all privileged white devils.
Judging by her looks she’ll be spending many Saturday nights writing these stories
“The crackdown on voting rights” of voters, voters being all Americans, Americans being all citizens of countries in North and South America and anyone else who manages to get here.
Her eyes...
“Just what the Democrats are doing”
Right out of the Alinsky handbook which Hillary is a scholar of: Blame others for your actions.
The redhead is a young punk. She doesn’t realize the Democrats are embarrassed by Hillary.

I believe that Commie-la Heels-up THINKS she'll soon be president BUT XiJinBiden has been around ALOT LONGER. While she slept her way to the Veep chair, she certainly ain't got the looks that she MIGHT have had, when younger, AND she certainly doesn't have the PERSONALITY to be liked.
XiJinBiden, even with only a few non-Alzheimer brain cells left, can EASILY out fox Commie-la. He's been playing dirty politics since before she even knew HOW to ho around.
If it gets dirty, my money's on XiJinBiden.
No bias at all.
“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 did we change from Constitutional republic to a liberal democracy?
She is still alive?
Did she appear in “Old Crusty”? Hilary Clinton, the woman who single-handedly destroyed the world market in women’s pantsuits.
one day, the “Blame them for what youre guilty of” bullshit is gonna come crashing down for these morons and I hope to God I’m still alive to see it!! scoff...
No one is being denied the right to vote
Another useful idiot
We are witnessing a concerted attempt to destabilize the democratic process.
She’s right the democrat party is doing just that at a high rate of speed and it’s all media approved.
Xi and Putin grin as the welcome new members to the club.
