The push to impose voting restrictions at the state level is poised to continue next year as Republicans drive forward with an array of new proposals -- ranging from legislation that would eliminate ballot drop boxes to bills that would establish new ID requirements to vote.
In Georgia, for instance, state Sen. Butch Miller, a Republican and president pro tempore of the state Senate, this month introduced legislation that would ban the use of ballot drop boxes in a state that already passed a law this year dramatically restricting their use. In Florida, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, wants to establish a new law enforcement office to investigate election crimes. In Arizona, another battleground state, one bill would establish new voter ID requirements.
Lawmakers in four states already have pre-filed at least 13 bills for the 2022 legislative sessions that would make it harder to cast a ballot, according to an analysis released Tuesday from the liberal-leaning Brennan Center for Justice at New York University's law school.

Not voting restrictions...fraud/crime restrictions.
CNN is vile garbage.
Pedophile vile garbage.
Yes! Tidal wave.
Overwhelm the commie bastards.
Not just voting laws but that’s probably the most important one.
IOW,safeguards at least as vigorous as those I'm required to obey when I buy allergy medications.
We never know all the politicians are thinking, but accurate voting is the bedrock of a Democracy.
State legislators gear up to pass a ‘tidal wave’ of voter fraud restrictions ahead of crucial 2022 midterms
“CNN is vile garbage.”
I like seeing their flop sweat. The New York legislature is currently working on bills to set up anti-vax concentration camps similar to Australia. But not a word from CNN on that.
Time for Pubbies to man up and ignore the accusations of racism in voter ID laws, districting, and outlawing ballot harvesting.
A note for weak-kneed pubbies: it doesn’t matter what you do, you’re still a raaacist. So just do the right thing.
“voting restrictions”
Is that what CNN calls stopping vote fraud?
However did we conduct elections before ‘drop boxes’ were introduced?
Anything that might prevent RAT cheating is a “restriction”.
Sen. Butch Miller, a Republican and president pro tempore of the state Senate, this month introduced legislation that would ban the use of ballot drop boxes in a state that already passed a law this year dramatically restricting their use......
I can be a passionate person, especially when it comes to how the politicians in my state act. Sometimes my language can be a tad colorful. Even got yelled at by the administrator on this site. Maybe even twice. Also had some folks that complained about my colorful language.
Anywho..........*&^* Butch Miller. When the Favorito started filing paperwork, after finding all sorts of shenanigans in the election in Georgia, IIRC, Georgia House and Senate leadership, Governor, Lt Governor and AG, signed an amicus brief AGAINST the audit.
When the original law was presented for a vote, it outright BANNED ‘mail in voting and drop boxes’. Those provisions were removed, otherwise Miller and Ralston weren’t going to bring to a vote.
This is a link to a PDF, that details the paperwork for the election lawsuit. If you go to Page 11, you’ll see the list of names for the state legislators from Georgia. For some odd reason, the forgot to put Butch Miller’s name on there. Must have been a typo.
In fact, there was only one person in the legislature that was really questioning anything and he was subsequently silenced. I don’t remember his name but he correctly pointed out one day that Gabriel Sterling would routinely say that, fraud did occur but it wasn’t so much that the results would be changed. So, the next question was...how does Gabriel Sterling know that? That question was never answered.
Butch Miller is/was in a position to ask just that and he didn’t.
Now, to appease the voters he’s trying to come up with something, knowing that most of the voters want nothing more to do with any of these Country Club/Lake Oconee/St Simon’s Island/Piedmont Driving Club/SEC Frat Boy/RINO/GOPe Republicans that are rampant in the state.
And EVERY Republican voter wants the drop boxes and phony mail in ballots gone.
On a side note, I realize that so many think, and are somewhat justified, that Perdue is a RINO. And, I can admit that he definitely leans that way. But neither Jones nor Kandiss Taylor are going to win. I’d love to see Vernon Jones run for Lt Governor. And I’d love to see Taylor run for a state legislative spot. I don’t see her going from teacher/guidance counselor to the Governor’s mansion on West Paces Ferry Rd.
I witnessed the 2009 election in cities in Northern Iraq, around Mosul. I was escorting folks from the State Dept and UN that were ‘monitoring’ the election process.
I know there are quite a few vets of the GWOT on here and everyone one of them can tell you that there are places you go, Iraq or Afghanistan, that are nothing more than chaos.
A voting location in Iraq was one of them. These folks don’t stand in line. It’s a mob. But, when you muscle your way to the table............SHOW YOUR ID............ and get the ballot, it’s all business.
As one State Dept Leftists said....these elections run smoother than the ones I’ve voted in, in DC.
If it can be done in, pretty much, EVERY OTHER country on the planet, it can be done here. They just don’t want to.
On a side note, looking up some information I stumbled on a map of the election results from last November. If I counted correctly, there are 15 states that have a government across the board, BLUE. The rest are either Republican across the board or a mix. Getting rid of the 17th Amendment, since it shouldn’t be there anyway, the Republican’s would probably have, at least, 55-60 Senators, if not more.
The sooner they pass the legislation the quicker the Democrats can sue.
CNN knows full well that new voting laws make it easier to vote and harder to cheat.
But, like communists, CNN apparently believes the ends are more important than the means. The Democrats are good at cheating.
Validating voter status and ID is not a restriction - it’s a protection 🤪
Regarding new state voting restrictions, if state lawmakers want to go further than election year legislative stunts, then they need to restore one of the biggest voting restrictions established by the delegates to the Constitutional Convention.
More specifically, state lawmakers in all states can effectively "secede" their respective states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by ratifying a new amendment to the Constitution that does nothing more than repeal the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments, minimal, if any, discussion required imo.
The main discussion about such an amendment, imo, is making sure that legal citizen majority voters don't mind if their 10th Amendment-based social security checks, for example, are mailed from state treasuries instead of from the broke federal treasury.
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Once unconstitutional federal taxes are stopped in compliance with the Gibbons v. Ogden excerpt above, taxes that the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification, post-FDR era, alleged election-stealing Democratic-pirated Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, then we will eventually be looking at the following situation imo.
Once the states fire the unconstitutional middleman, the unconstitutionally big federal government, from "helping" the states to manage their revenues, the states will ultimately find a tsunami of new revenues that they can use to give the legal majority citizen voters of their respective states the kind of government services that they want.
In fact, the congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, the main author of the 14th Amendment, had clarified that the delegates to the constitutional convention had left the care of the people uniquely to the states, not the federal government.
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
Justice Louis Brandeis later reflected on Bingham's words by introducing his "laboratories of democracy" metaphor to emphasize the 10th Amendment-protected powers of the states to serve the people, ultimately depending on what the legal majority citizens voters of a given state vote for.
"[...] a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country." —Justice Louis Brandeis, Laboratories of Democracy.
...and bring back slavery as an American institution.
You know the dipwad author wanted to add that.
