For all the delays and the drama, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's signature on his state's GOP-backed voting reforms came with relatively little fanfare on Tuesday.
While much of the action has been quiet, it's striking to see how much of the political landscape continues to be shaped by the "big lie" told by former President Donald Trump and his supporters, a full 10 months after Trump lost.
Including Texas, 17 Republican-controlled states have new voting restrictions in place in time for 2022 -- via bills at least partly inspired by the mistruths told by the former president.
The so-called "audit" of last year's election results in Arizona has still produced no formal results. It has, though, lingered long enough for some Republican leaders in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania to launch copycat efforts.
Trump's steady stream of endorsements and statements have made clear that buying into his lies about the election are a prerequisite for his consideration. A rally coming together in Georgia later this month is sure to feature rehashing of false claims.
It's not just history, either: The leading Republican in next week's California recall election is warning of "shenanigans" that he says could spark legal challenges in that race. And the Trump-endorsed GOP Senate candidate in Nevada has brought up possible preemptive legal challenges in his campaign -- where polls close in a mere 14 months.
The rhetoric and many of the new laws are being met with lawsuits and anger among Democrats. But just as the Texas Democrats couldn't stop their state's law from being passed, national Democrats are no closer to passing the bills they have offered as their primary responses.

You should have a poster made that says that.🤔
The big lie is that the “big lie” ISN’T a big lie.
I think that’s right.
The leftwing enemedia stations in Austin (including the local FOX station) are ranting and raving about the Texas voting reforms law, which they squeeze in between their ranting and raving about the Texas heartbeat bill and their ranting and raving about the dangers of globull warming.
“The so-called “audit” of last year’s election results in Arizona has still produced no formal results.”
But the real question is not if anything is “legally” found, but if it’s there to be “legally found.” And as long as the liberals resist the investigation with court attempted blocking, destruction of records purposely, people hiding behind attornies, and using the media to try to keep that truth hidden, we will never know swhat actually happened...either way.
An example of this is that even though Al Capone was known to be running alcohol, prostitution rings, and killing people like his competition, he was found guilty and sentenced to tax evasion. And when he couldn’t conform to the prison system, sent to the Rock.
A man in Compton California was arrested for having over 300 voting papers for a California election.
Of course in California, a liberal state, why stop there.
And if the election should not be questioned, then why the arrests and ultimate proof they were needed? And why the resistance to the audits when there is plenty of evidence something that could have been a determining factor was wrong.
Imagine if all these people had 300 votes each or been responsible for that and more? It’s broke, fix it no matter what the result is. But it will not happen as long as it can be hidden. And that means a question of truth, lack of transparency, and the appearance of conflict of interest. All exploded bombs in our system of government. And all the assassin of our country.

Oh please.
It is not a “big lie” that having millions of official printed ballots mailed out, in many cases unrequested, floating around untracked and unaccounted for, is not a method to inspire confidence in the results of an election. The suggestion that is an appropriate method of conducting an election is a lie - not to mention stupid.
Rhetorical Question: How do they know that Trump is ‘lying’ about the election? Did THEY do any audits, for example?
Until Texas goes back to dumb voting machines, elections can still be stolen.
They know because Biden said there was no voter fraud machine before the … oh … never mind.
The rhetoric and many of the new laws are being met with lawsuits and anger among Democrats.
