Lawmakers in 47 states have introduced bills that would make it harder to vote. See them all here
All this over the big lie Trump pushed, seems like a lot of people are upset the orange buffoon lost a fair election?!!
They act like he did a good job while in office, go figure?!! Trump could not do the job, period!
We paid, 151 million dollars for his golfing in the fours he was in office, that would pay for 10 years of meals on wheels?!!
(CNN) Lawmakers in all but three states have introduced bills aimed at restricting ballot access, according to a new tally by the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University.
Their latest report finds 361 bills restricting voting have been introduced in 47 states as of March 24. The total, released Thursday morning, marks a 43% rise in the number of bills introduced since Brennan last released a count a little over a month ago.
The Brennan Center's previous tally identified 253 restrictive bills in 43 states in February.
Three states have led the country in the number of bills that aim to restrict the vote: Texas with 49 bills; Georgia, 25; and Arizona, 23.
The rise reflects a sharp contrast to a year ago -- before the Covid-19 pandemic and well before the 2020 presidential election -- when state lawmakers were far less interested in restricting voting access. The Brennan Center's review of state legislation in February 2020 identified only 35 restrictive bills in 15 states.
The legislative push is part of a national Republican effort that aims to restrict access to the ballot box following record turnout in the election. Republicans currently control both chambers of 30 state legislatures, including in Texas, Georgia and Arizona.
The only three states that had not yet introduced a voting bill with restrictive provisions are Delaware, Ohio and Vermont.
