Republicans are plotting to subvert the will of the voters

WASHINGTON - Donald Trump-style Republicans in more than 30 states are pushing new laws that basically would make it easier for them to steal future elections, according to a new report provided to USA TODAY by a group of voting rights organizations. "This trend increases the risk of a crisis in which the outcome of an election could be decided contrary to the will of the people," said the report compiled by three organizations: States United Democracy Center, Protect Democracy, and Law Forward. Victoria Bassetti, a senior adviser with the States United Democracy Center and one of the authors of the report, described the efforts as "election subversion," and called the idea a "new and dangerous attack on democracy."
With 50 proposals passed since the organizations started tracking them at the start of 2021, Bassetti said that "systematic election subversion like we have found is really new."
The 2022 edition of an annual report – titled "A Democracy Crisis In The Making" – said proponents are pursuing election subversion through five methods:
Awarding state legislatures the power to award electoral votes; authorizing post-election "audits" that could be partisan in nature; giving partisan lawmakers and appointed officials more powers over election operations; placing "unworkable burdens" on election administrators; and intimidating election officials with the threat of criminal penalties for certain actions.

They're electing state and local reps who have no experience at all, except that they say 45 won and that Biden's votes were invalid.

One can hope that their sense of professionalism and dedication to the election integrity (i.e. their job) overcomes their need to suck 45's dick.

Can one hope?

I suppose this shouldn't surprise us. The more it becomes impossible for the Pubs to win fairly, the more ways they devise to put a thumb on the scale. First voter suppression, now this.

What a steaming pile of bullshit. States are enacting regulations to protect elections against democrats cheating. But I will agree to one thing no party knows how to steal an election like the democrat party. They know all the angles.

Democrats didn't cheat and therefore states are enacting regulations to protect elections against made up fantasy land

Dems have nothing to fear, the courts will protect dems just like they protected the pubs, oh wait! maybe the dems saw how feckless the courts were IN 2020 and are starting to worry about the tables will on them. LMFAO.

Yes, I get that you believe in fantasies that 45 told you

You have no reason whatsoever to suspect the Dems of cheating.

*chuckles*, see the above posts of your's, now you wonder why no one outside of the right-wing fringe you come from takes anything you post seriously.

we should return to voting the way it was pre Covid. No need to canvas whole states with mail in ballots. I would like to know who won an election that night . No mail in voting but return to absentee ballots on request.

Away with packaged-ground parmesan cheese! Do it yourself!

Typical Dem form. Accuse others of what you, in fact, are doing and have done!

No Democrat has ever proposed legislation of this kind.

Nor have you any reason whatsoever to suspect the Dems of cheating in elections.

And you know it.

 

[pecksniff]

No that already happened

It's a new report, though a followup to one a year ago.

30 states sound like the will of a majority of voters.

If you see 30 state legislatures doing something, that does not mean it represents the will of a majority of voters -- not even in one of them.

 

[PaxNurgle]

^Basically, this.

Especially when you consider that overturning an election means deliberately THWARTING the will of the majority of voters, in order to install the losing party/candidate in office.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

Oh those mean Republicans!

 

[PaxNurgle]

So, you are perfectly okay for the minority party (WHICHEVER PARTY THAT IS) overturning the popular vote and installing itself in public.

If it were the Democrats overturning an election in which the Republican candidate(s) clearly won, would you be okay with that?

Obviously not.

That's the point; that is not how democracy works in a free and democratic society like the U.S. Or rather, that's not how it's supposed to work. Republican or democrat, abiding by the rules of free and fair elections is what's at stake here. Just because it's "your" party doing it, does not make it fair or valid.
