Oregon has had 100% mail-in voting for two decades without fraud. This has zero to do with fraud.

This is panic by the GOP donor class that widespread voting by the plebes will lead to their worst nightmare — wealth redistribution. This is a strategy they learned from the Jim Crow South. If voters are choosing the “wrong things,” don’t change your positions to better appeal to them; rather, make it less likely that they’ll vote. 

How GOP-backed voting measures could create hurdles for tens of millions of voters-
At least 250 new laws have been proposed in 43 states to limit mail, early in-person and Election Day voting:

Consider this: Republicans protected and excused the attempt to overturn a legitimate election with violence. Most of them still refuse to acknowledge President Biden won fair and square.

If Republicans come to power again via their supercharged voter suppression, America will not survive. They are domestic terrorists, not a political party. Without HR1 becoming law well before the 2022 elections, Americans all lose. Someone needs to hammer this into the brains of the folks who oppose eliminating the filibuster, so thanks for including that. :avengers3:

@TonyStark coincidentally or not so much, they still use mail voting while they lie to us about the safety.

@TonyStark The Republicans only want their voters to vote. Democrats want everyone to vote, even people who won’t vote for them. Sums it up.

The GOP is a minority party in this country and no one knows that better than they do.

If not for the Electoral College, their Presidential candidates would never win the Presidency. If not for a Senate where states with far lower populations proportionally get 2 U.S. Senate seats, they would never hold a majority in the Senate. If not for partisan gerrymandering, they would never hold a majority in the House.

And GOP voter suppression laws are what tie this all together.

The argument that preserving the filibuster is necessary because it’s an important tool in our democracy falls apart when it’s clearer with every passing day that we won’t have a democracy without the Senate passing voting rights legislation.

Opinion | Republicans’ rhetoric on H.R. 1 is apocalyptic. Are they that afraid of democracy?
A bill to make voting easier should be obvious. To Republicans, it is not.
