While that is somewhat true the question is why is Georgia adding in voter restrictions when there is no fraud. Delaware isn't adding in laws because of presidential and senate losses, Georgia seems to think this will help them in the next election.

Lets see whats wrong; No proof of citizenship, residence or ID required,
Multiple votes for minorites encouraged.
Polls opening days earlier
Absentee ballots handed out like Halloween candy.
Polling volunteers taking ballots because "the machine is broken."
Unchecked electioneering.
Voter intimidation.
and the BIG one "mail in ballots"

No fraud ? Explain to me how can many districts count up to 125% of their population having voted for Obama in BOTH presidential elections without any mention of obvious fraud ?

Coming soon to a gulag near you, "ranked choice voting".
Some see a spontaneous unarmed protest as an "insurrection". I've seen Cub Scouts better organized.
Just wait until the shooting starts. Sooner or later it's gonna happen.

Because they can't go around and do their harvesting operations. We have a country that is so lazy and incapacitated they can't bother to make it to a polling place of their own accord within 2 weeks of an election.. we need to give them 2 months and let them mail in ballots without any photo ID of any sort. It's pathetic.

I lose any respect for any authority figure that I might have had when they make statements like this. It shows they are willing to politically pander to people and are basically weasels. I have little to no respect for many of the so called "experts" out there including many of the Billionaires like Gates just because of some of the public statements they have made.

Biden is going to unite us they said. Yeah it’s so uniting to say trying to have secure elections is the greatest threat since the Civil War
What statues and symbols will he now call for destruction? Likely start with the American flag and national anthem.

Biden's words may be used as evidence in court that he is a lost soul incapable of a sane thought. His incoherent claim is destructive and divisive.

Dems tip their hand again, referencing a civil war which they have ensured will take place as their instigation.

These voting rules are clearly designed to benefit republicans during elections. And Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act needs to be restored to allow federal oversight of state elections.

However, there is nothing in the new laws that Dems cant easily overcome with education and mobilization. If Dems respond by increasing IDs among the population and better structure and planning for voter registration, the result could be a net gain for Dems, due to the counter response strategies adopted.

I actually dont think these changes will benefit Repubs in the end unless the Dems just totally neglect to adapt and have no strategic acumen.

Asking voters for their ID is the biggest threat to democracy?

Maybe Biden should explain that to the E.U., since most European nations require ID in order to be able to vote in elections, and to make sure people don't vote more than once. I believe it's called having a "secure and fair election", you know, democracy?

The election ballot has become harder and longer to fill out.
It creates longer lines on election day.
With fewer polling location's and stupid laws about water and food on line, the GOP is trying to keep people from voting.
The GOP is afraid of the voters.

Mail every registered voter a ballot and have them send then back or deliver it to the Board of Elections.
