There was no widespread fraud in 2020 but Republican’s will use Trump’s lie to suppress votes. They have already submitted over 100 bills in state legislatures.
From voter ID laws to limiting mail-in ballots, Republican lawmakers in 33 states are considering 165 different laws that would make it harder to vote. @janestreet explains the Republican's effort to restrict access to the ballot box. – @NBCNewsNOW https://t.co/bzJHtqfBaX

Update from @BrennanCenter on accelerating GOP attempts to roll back voting rights post 2020: "Thirty-three states have introduced, prefiled, or carried over 165 restrictive bills this year (as compared to 35 such bills in fifteen states on February 3, 2020)." https://t.co/Xxfz5aMrrq

This is the operational fallout of Trump’s big lie- Republicans are using it to justify a massive wave of voter suppression across the states https://t.co/58kW4nNarp

Great point by @abbydphillip: GOP Senators can't admit that Trump's fraud claims are a lie b/c GOP is using it in states to justify new wave of voter suppression laws-even as they prepare for severe gerrymanders. The question of whether majority can rule is under historic threat

The GOP's hardening support for Trump during this Impeachment process makes me worried about the tidal wave of voter suppression legislation we are about to see in GOP controlled states.

We may be tired, but will again need to rally to protect our democracy in court.
The GOP is all in on rolling back voting rights post 2020. Only question is whether Ds will be as committed to protecting & expanding voting rights by using what could be a brief window of national leverage to pass #HR1 & new #VRA. It’s their most consequential decision. https://t.co/V9qpZMF6q1

GOP has already become party of Marjorie Taylor Greene at state level, introducing wave of new voter suppression laws based on unhinged conspiracy theories

This is huge scandal that should be getting as much attention as Trump’s plot to overturn election https://t.co/9VsFsWbF1f
More than 100 bills that would restrict voting are moving through state legislatures.@JohnAvlon: “The right to vote has long been a fight to vote, especially for African Americans … But now we should all realize that we can’t take our democracy for granted.” #RealityCheck pic.twitter.com/281h3fLShU

@washingtonpost editorial makes a strong case for the federal voting rights & election reform standards in #HR1 but skirts the core issue: should Ds end the filibuster to enact it? B/c if they don't, they won't & they'll get a decade of voter suppression. https://t.co/m1clemI5vU
