CNN: Major conservative groups unify behind state GOP efforts to restrict voting
CNN ^ | March 28 | By Fredreka Schouten, CNN

Posted on 03/28/2021 12:12:07 AM PDT by RandFan

National Republican groups are working to drive the state-by-state GOP efforts to limit voting -- offering guidance to the state lawmakers drafting laws to restrict ballot access, deploying grassroots activists to key battlegrounds and raising millions of dollars to block efforts by Democrats in Congress to establish a national baseline for voting rights.

Heritage Action for America, the political arm of the conservative Heritage Foundation think tank, has publicly committed to spending at least $10 million to "secure and strengthen state election systems." And guidelines sent out earlier this year by the Heritage Foundation -- including extending identification requirements to absentee voting and barring third-party groups from collecting voters' absentee ballots -- have emerged in bills now racing through the Legislature in Georgia and other statehouses.

Organizations ranging from the libertarian-leaning advocacy group FreedomWorks to the anti-abortion Susan B. Anthony List also have jumped into the voting rights battle this year.

The involvement of national groups shows that efforts to restrict voting in dozens of states "are not a coincidence," said Hillary Holley, organizing director of the Georgia-based voting rights group Fair Fight Action. "This is a strategic imperative that's well-funded."

“Major conservative groups unify behind state GOP efforts to restrict voting” to legitimate votes.

CNN complained on behalf of criminals about non-criminal behavior. The Democrat Party is the criminal party and has the appearance of a political party in bed with drug cartels.

“Restrict voting”....

Really?!

I have to have a frakin’ ID for nearly EVERYTHING in life, and yet, no sticking ID needed or required to vote? Leftist lunacy making flat-earthers look more and more sane with each and every passing day.

CNN editors have the maturity and understanding of emotional and petulant twelve year olds. They cannot understand why voter and election fraud are actually the worst possible restrictions on the right to vote that can possibly be.

Fraud destroys any confidence in the validity of an election among the populaces. Thus, an election fraught with fraud, is void of any legitimacy. Instead, it becomes a threat to the people’s liberty, minority rights, and life itself.

The absurd and contradictory demands these Neo-totalitarian media apparatchiks are making on election law and civil society, are an insult to any citizen’s intelligence. They obviously and blatantly promote pernicious and unaccountable fraud, making an obscene mockery of what once was a Democratic Republic. Confidence in our country’s government is thus destroyed. All this for a corrupt and dangerous political advantage, that can never be justified.

These children are destructive of anything they do not understand, like the Constitution of the United States.

Great post Richard. It’s a shame they didn’t put through these measures last year (sigh).

There is an old saying: “Shutting the barn door when the horse has bolted” (or something like that!)

I wish you a good Sunday.

Major conservative groups unify behind state GOP efforts to restrict voting (demanding that we follow the Constitution).

The Dems want to free the vote to make sure that illegal aliens, not citizens, and convicted felons can vote as many times as they can on each election.

The Dems want a lawless vote.That will mean violence at the polls in many locations across our country.

Imagine voting in Portland ,Oregon, or in Seattle? WOW!A conservative would have to be armed.

The CNN writer. Probably good buds with Val Jar's daughter Laura and John Brennan (also at CNN).

American black women -- Such a terrible fail they've become. (Candace Owens one of the few excluded.)

How much do you want to bet that just to get in to any CNN building, you need to show state issued, picture ID?
