Republicans will use their voter fraud lies to push voter suppression.
If you don't think that voter suppression is the GOP's top priority for 2021-22, then you aren't paying attention. https://t.co/oCULnZJXxz

State Republicans in deep-red states and battlegrounds alike are citing former President Donald Trump’s meritless claims of voter fraud in 2020 as an excuse to tighten access to the pollshttps://t.co/wAc50qA2Wn

We’re already seeing efforts to reassert Georgia’s place as ground zero for voter suppression because politicians are afraid change is coming. https://t.co/UtYokhiwQM

2 dead moms voting for Trump in my state and the PAGOP is raging that THEIR OWN Vote by Mail law <<checks notes>> uh- worked?
So pissed, in fact, they’re now attempting to gerrymander the PA Supreme Court. 👍https://t.co/M6ENGb9hE8

Editor @MicahCohen said to me on the phone (I swear this is verbatim) "are we sure this is about race?"https://t.co/yvHSyGOz7x
Republican lawmakers in states Trump contested are pushing new voting restrictions for future elections. That includes proposals to roll back laws in Georgia and Pennsylvania that allowed all registered voters to vote by mail.https://t.co/GbpQCeuZit

Keep track: Republicans want to roll back mail-in voting in states that Trump lost (and contested), like Georgia and Pennsylvania.

The fruit of Trump's baseless fraud charges: "Raffensperger on Wednesday asked Georgia state representatives to end no-excuse absentee voting, a proposal that would limit the voting method over 1.3 million people used in the presidential election." https://t.co/bdeL4PlFqo

Georgia Republicans outline a plan to restrict mail voting and roll back the election laws that contributed to the state's record-high turnout in the presidential election — unwinding rules the party itself put in place. https://t.co/4qA10UfAz7

Be prepared for what follows the current attack on the election: 1- State efforts to restrict voting, particularly mail-in voting which Republicans see as disadvantaging them. 2- Future attempts to intimidate election officials, courts & legislatures to overturn election losses.

Of course this woman deserves to be commended, but we have to call this what it is: This is the result of Republicans nonstop efforts to suppress black voters. If Biden wins Georgia, it will be because of a superhuman effort by people like her. Voting shouldn’t be partisan. https://t.co/177NGCXL0N
