Axios: “There are at least 165 proposals under consideration in 33 states so far this year to restrict future voting access by limiting mail-in ballots, implementing new voter ID requirements and slashing registration options. As former President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial begins over his role in the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection that sought to overturn President Biden’s victory – fueled by baseless allegations of voter fraud – lawmakers in states with GOP majorities are pushing new ballot obstacles based on similar baseless allegations.”
“Three states at the tip of the spear are Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Georgia – states critical to Trump’s loss in November and Democrats’ takeover of the U.S. Senate last month. According to the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law, Arizona leads the pack with 19 proposals, followed by Pennsylvania with 14 and Georgia with 11.”
