Next time someone tells you that the USA is free, or a democracy, remind them of this

Restricting the vote is never a good thing.

Republicans: "we do it for election integrity".
Then why do you ban sunday voting where historically souls to the polls have been taking place in african american neighbourhoods?
Republicans: "ahem, election integrity".
What is wrong with allowing african americans to vote on sunday then, does it has to do with the race of the voters?
Republicans: "no, no no, its not about race, you its the other unrelated to race"
Republicans cant be more obvious, they are the party of white supremacy, no one can deny that, at lest no one that lives in reality.

What a shameless path these creatures are taking in order to disenfranchise working, disabled, and those without vehicles.

Democrats need to start playing offense.

[MercenaryMuse]

"Confidence" refers not to the security of the vote but the results of the vote. They want to be confident that they can win.

This is not a surprise from Republicans

[guitarcatlind]

Republicans be like: Oh it's unconstitional to make me wear a mask at your private buissness, now let's pass a law to restrict everybody from voting by mail.

This breaks my heart after all of stacy abrams hard work.

[Jarod-tebi]

Fight these restrictions this will set back America decades.

[Gigi-ockc]

They should just say “White ppl only allowed” at the voting booths, and stop acting like that’s not what this is all leading to 😡

[BattyButtercup]

How exactly are people supposed to have "democratic integrity" if their state prevents the accessibility of voting to all but the leisurely wealthy, who can afford to take weekdays off to pay others to stand in queues for them in order to vote? Does Georgia not have labour unions?? 'Cause this is DEFINITELY targeting the working class and working poor.

[Fay-el]

i'm surprised this even got trough. it is pretty obvious what their intention is. but yet the bill got passed... smh

[theMasterChiefRules]

“Jim Crow in a suit and tie” isn’t a newly coined term. It’s decades old.

When you unplug your little brothers controller because hes beating you.

Rise up people. Defeat these bills. Your voices count!

*Voter suppression does within the Republican party*
Claiming to fight against voter suppression using voter suppression to do it?

[wandaprewitt]

If they are able to do this, my it backfire on them

[grandmak.]

Watching from Europe with serious concern.

Why bring back confidence? It never went away, the results were not what they wanted
