People aren't fighting it because in the states where it's happening those people voted for these douchebags BECAUSE they want to Make America White Again. It's all about losing white supremacy status.

Translation: Quality of votes and not everyone should vote applies to voters who don’t vote for Republicans.
Again no widespread voter fraud was found 2020.

“Not everybody wants to vote, and if somebody is uninterested in voting, that probably means that they're totally uninformed on the issues," Kavanagh said. "Quantity is important, but we have to look at the quality of votes, as well."
I think a very strong case could be made that those who vote for Republicans are “totally uninformed on the issues”.

Something like this can't POSSIBLY be seen to be legal, and let stand, can it? |

It's all about losing white supremacy status. I live in NH and the reasons our state legislature is Republican controlled is a lot more complicated that just racism. I'm not denying racism is part of it, but it's not the only reason. We currently have a Republican governor who's approval rating is really high. Control of our state legislature passes between Democrats and Republicans frequently. We have a really high number of representatives but none of them are paid. When Republicans are in control, guns are allowed in polling places, the state capitol and lots of other places. Gun control or lack of is really important to a lot of people up here. I would have to look up the history, but I think we've had some form of voter ID laws for a few years now. I don't know the specifics, but I think college and high school IDs are also accepted as a form of identification. eta - The proposed laws would no longer allow student IDs and a copy of a valid ID would be required with an absentee ballot. |

That means a donation to the NAACP Michigan chapter is in order. And dismantling racist systems whenever you see them.

i think this last election cycle left a bad taste in people's mouths. these not so subtle acts of voter suppression that i'm hearing about is really disturbing. your can practically smell the fear and desperation from certain groups who want to suppress the vote. But are those who voted for those who are proposing these laws complaining? Are they even paying attention? I don’t think they are and that is a huge problem. |

I don’t think they are and that is a huge problem. it is a problem. once the election passed, people went back to their daily lives. understandably, there are far more important things to worry about right now than voter suppression--- joblessness, a pandemic, extreme weather, etc. the activism will take a back seat because their are more pressing matters on a personal level. |

I am speaking specifically of republican voters. Just like all of the other horrible things that R's have done over the last several years, if they would voice their disagreement about these issues and actions (and not just Democrats being the "activists"), it would go a long way. I'm not holding my breath. |

Problem is their daily lives are influenced by the elected officials/government they did or did not vote for. As such we can’t just put politics in the cupboard until just before the next election. Nor am I saying they need to be political junkies, they just need to be aware while they go about their daily lives so they can make make an informed vote without fighting their way through an obstacle course on their way to vote. |

Sinema and Manchin better wake up.
Protect the right to vote or protect the filibuster. Which is more important?!

I'm not holding my breath. there are probably a whole host of reasons why the republicans didn't say anything. maybe they didn't want to be accused of being RINOs. maybe they didn't think their voice mattered and that their representatives will do what they want to anyway. i think it's the same in both parties. things will happen but some people won't voice their concerns firmly. others will call their reps, write letters, demonstrate, etc. others will just shrug and not say anything. |

From the article
“For Republicans, H.R. 1 represents a Democratic "power grab" that could tilt elections in their favor for years to come, as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., put it. One Arizona state lawmaker called it "anti-Republican."
"H.R. 1 is an attempt to use the Democrats' slim majority to unlevel the playing field and take away the rights of roughly half of the voters in the country," said Mark Weaver, a GOP consultant based in Ohio and an election law attorney.”
Since when did making it easier for eligible voters to vote become a “ power grab”?
All the Republicans need to do is give voters a bonafide reason to vote for them-
