States have already enacted more than 20 laws this year that will make it harder for Americans to vote — and many legislatures are still in session.
Across the country, the effort to restrict the vote continues, with a wave of bills moving through state legislatures and becoming law.
Between January 1 and May 14, 2021, at least 14 states enacted 22 new laws that restrict access to the vote. footnote1_idrlkz9 1 The United States is on track to far exceed its most recent period of significant voter suppression — 2011. By October of that year, 19 restrictive laws were enacted in 14 states. This year, the country has already reached that level, and it’s only May.

Let’s be clear here: voting “restrictions” are good. The vast majority of Americans shouldn’t vote and if they can be dissuaded from voting by lack of drive-through polls and ballot harvesting, all I can say is fuck off and don’t come back!
Somebody will have to explain to me how requiring ID to vote is an undue burden on our dusky fellow citizens, as I can’t see it. I need an ID to travel, drive, go to the bank, write a check, or buy a gun. If requiring ID to vote is racist, then it’s racist in all those instances as well, and I’m sure you will agree, we should do away with all of those requirements.
Also, since all of these laws have been enacted democratically by the states, why do you libz hate democracy? Why do you want to silence the voice of the people?
