In Georgia, Arizona and other states won by President Biden, some leading Republicans stood up in November to make what, in any other year, would be an unremarkable statement: The race is over. And we lost, fair and square.
But that was then. Now, in statehouses nationwide, Republicans who echoed former President Donald J. Trump’s baseless claims of rampant fraud are proposing to make it harder to vote next time — ostensibly to convince the very voters who believed them that elections can be trusted again. And even some colleagues who defended the legitimacy of the November vote are joining them.
According to the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University, state legislators have filed 106 bills to tighten election rules, generally making it harder to cast a ballot — triple the number at this time last year. In short, Republicans who for more than a decade have used wildly inflated allegations of voter fraud to justify making it harder to vote, are now doing so again, this time seizing on Mr. Trump’s thoroughly debunked charges of a stolen election to push back at Democratic-leaning voters who flocked to mail-in ballots last year.
In Georgia, where the State House of Representatives has set up a special committee on election integrity, legislators are pushing to roll back no-excuse absentee voting. Republicans in Pennsylvania plan 14 hearings to revisit complaints they raised last year about the election and to propose limitations on voting.

Making it harder to steal.
The cemeteries really turned out in 2020, and the Democrats want to make certain that their deceased voters can vote in every election.
“According to the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University, state legislators have filed 106 bills to tighten election rules, generally making it harder to cast a ballot — triple the number at this time last year.”
BRENNAN? The infamous Brennan?
The thing is, it wasn’t record turnout. It was record turnup. Lots of votes turned up despite relatively few people turning out.
The Joseph Stolen rag
The Brennan Center for Justice is a think tank, public interest law firm, and advocacy organization founded in 1995 by a group of former law clerks of Supreme Court Justice William J. Brennan. who passed away in 1997.
I volunteered at the local republican hdq for many years starting in about 1996 just trying to keep the vote legal, clean, honest. We didn’t try to keep anyone from voting. We just tried to make sure only US citizens who were registered to vote were allowed to vote. We didn’t try to stop any legal voters.
Ahh...thx
Humans, not so much...
Is that named after William, or John? :)
Interesting headline. Did a criminal write it? Kroger is making it harder to get free groceries to the car.
There is no pretense to the lies. The a-hole "won" very little. These scum stole it all and we let them.
Everytime the New York Times or any other main stream media say it is “debunked” claims of election fraud, I ask myself “Who did the debunking?” Just because Michael Wines say it is “debunked”, that doesn’t make it so.
It's like watching Linda Blair in The Exorcist...
The Steal continues. Mark Levin said it best today, they want absolute and unfettered power over your life. Unchecked force of government, media and technology to make a Marxist state.
The exposure is going to be the greatest triumph.
“In Georgia, Arizona and other states won by President Biden”
Stopped reading right there.

Sorry, I can’t get past “New York Times.”
