AL H. B. 194, AZ H. B. 2492, FL S. B. 524, GA H. B. 1015, GA H. B. 1368, GA H. B. 1432, GA S. B. 441, KY H. B. 301, OK H. B. 3046.
Just a random collection from a virtually bottomless barrel. I can literally provide you with at least 10 times that number if you really want.
But that is sort of besides the point, it is very easy to see Republicans infringing on peoples rights to vote. The two most obvious examples are the Photo ID laws which are entirely pointless from the viewpoint of increasing election security and only serves to put another barrier between the people and the ability to vote which means fewer people will vote. The other example is gerrymandering which is getting so bad that the election maps are being rejected by the courts for being blatantly unfair.
The Republican party has zero interest in election integrity. All they care about is securing power and they will burn down any system which gets in the way of that including the elections.38 Reply- +1 y
You'll have to be specific. Meaning which lines in those bills i tried reading the first. Outlets ans found nothing. Even Google how they supposedly take away voting rights. Can't find anything.
Bill, section, line. Specific. Just because you cite a random bill means nothing in logical agreement. - +1 y
Alright then. Just taking a stab in the dark, lets stake PA H. B. 1706
This bill for example shortens the window in which you can apply for mail in ballots. I do not really have to specify the line or whatever since it clearly states it at the top and all that. Its a fairly easy bill to understand.
Also these are not random bills. They are from a list I have of bills that specifically undermines the US election in some form or another. - +1 y
MI H. B. 4128
This is a better example. It is a bill that allows the state to purge voters who has not recently voted. As I have said previously, purging voters has been a strategic move by the Republicans to prevent specific groups of people from voting who they believe would primarily vote for Democrats.
Again, its a short bill so I dont feel a need to specify what part of the text is relevant. - +1 y
I can't think of any legitimate reason to arbitrarily purge voters due to any other reason than the change in their legal status to vote such as dying or moving somewhere else under another jurisdiction. Not having voted in a certain amount of time, even if that time is a very long time, is a really bad excuse however. This is especially true since USA has such a terrible voter turnout and these people at least voted at some point.
- +1 y
@goaded No, he is right. Its a bad example because it has plenty of democrat support. To be honest, the list I have is not really compiled for this question in particular which means it contains bills supported by both parties. After all, this list is intended as a complete list of bills that infringes on elections which both parties are guilty of if at different degrees.

Says 19 states have passed 34 laws that have made voting harder. They are making it harder to register to vote, absentee vote, maintain registration for voting, limiting the number of voting locations, place like Florida have out lawed Sunday voting. Stricter ID laws reduces turn out disproportionately to number of registered voters and census information on tax paying Americans.

But that's old news. The recent trend is to make it possible for legislatures or other (Republican) officials, legislatures or judges to deny votes from entire counties based on nothing more than an allegation of fraud, not proof.

@mrtaboo There are still polling places for people to vote, and still early voting dates and times for people to vote. And a person can always vote on election day. No one's rights were taken away.

Can you identify the exact federal statutes that you’re referring to?
And how do you propose to identify and prosecute those who do it if they don’t show you any ID? Most likely, they‘d vote by mail and their signatures wouldn’t be checked for matches with the ones on file. Good luck catching them when those are accepted as valid votes.
Oh, and prosecuting fraud depends on whether the prosecutor feels like doing it. - +1 y

Its not that it CAN be misinterpreted, that is just what makes it worse and its also the intended application of it but even if you read it in the most charitable way it still restricts non-profits from providing all the support I already put forward. If you include what it could be misinterpreted as then it makes it fairly easy for the state to selectively remove and criminally punish election officials for arbitrary reasons which could include politically motivated crackdown of the polling location.

@Soteris I’m sure if I looked into those bills all they are doing is trying to stop ballot harvesting and Liberals handing out coffee and donuts at voting centers to influence voters.
They tried to do this in Georgia, allow people to serve drinks and snacks at voting centers which would obviously provide a means to bribe and sweet talk voters in line.
And if you say that’s pretty shady what do Lefties such as yourself scream?
OMG THE RACIST REPUBLICANS ARE KEEPING PEOPLE FROM VOTING!!!

@Soteris I looked up one of your bills randomly that you say is taking away voting rights, and surprise surprise, it doesn’t. It’s nothing more than a bill asking for ID for voting:
“ I. (a) A person desiring to vote shall, before being provided a ballot, announce his or her name and address to one of the ballot clerks who shall, if the name is found on the checklist by the ballot clerk, repeat the name and address. If the address announced by voter is different from what appears on the checklist, but is in the same town or ward, the ballot clerk shall record the change of address in red on the paper checklist and the supervisors of the checklist shall cause the centralized voter registration database to reflect the change.
(b) The voter, unless challenged, shall then be asked to present proof of his or her identity meeting the requirements of paragraph II. If the voter presents such proof of identity to the ballot clerk, the ballot clerk shall give the voter one of each ballot to be voted on in that election.” -MA H. 812
So asking for ID before voting to ensure citizenship is restricting voting. GTFO. 🙄
Why am I not surprised. Hypocrisy hypocrisy hypocrisy.

Really? The bill just says you can’t hand out drinks and snacks in voting lines to influence voters. 😂 - +1 y
Oh please, you know me better than that. Yes, this bill specifically targets election officials however it does so in a way that they get blamed if a non-profit organization helps register voters due to their usage of the word "personal services" AKA someone helping the polling official by helping register other people to vote is a personal service and illegal according to this bill.
- +1 y
- +1 y
@Agagagagaga This bill is not about ballot harvesting.
As for MA H812, its just a fact that arbitrarily requiring extra steps to voting is an obstacle to vote and that there is neither an issue with the current verification system nor evidence provided that bills such as this would even work in the first place.
So yeah, its just an attempt to put more obstacles between the people and the ability to vote. Nothing more than obstructionism under a thin pretense of "security" which is inherently bullshit. - +1 y

Even if what you said is true, its not, but even if it was. That would still prevent voters from voting and the bill would still be interfering with the election.
If you truly felt there was an issue with people bribing election officials you should have written a better law that did not cause collateral damage on the voters. Hence its a bad law no matter what you argue. - +1 y

... You do realize that the title of bills in USA is the playground for politicians right? They love to play around with them, especially by arranging them into fun acronyms like "Help Eliminate the Levy on Locution Act" spelling out "Hello".
They also love to put in random garbage such as the "Inflation Reduction Act" which literally has nothing to do with inflation. Its a bit sad that I have to explain such simple things to you but the title is not part of the legal text in the bill and can be literally anything. - +1 y

Anyone who registers to vote from a non-profit organization encouraging voter turnout for example. They also help with training for poll workers so anyone going home because of waiting in line for too long or because of bad service or perhaps because the polling location can't be opened because of there not being enough poll workers would also contribute. Just to give a few examples.

Yes it would mean that. After all, you care about such silly proof as having to trot forth an actual person. Even if I gave you a number of people who registered to vote through a non-profit organization you would just dismiss that unless I could put a face to them and identify them for you.
That is the kind of asshole you are. - +1 y
- +1 y
The level of proof you are demanding is unreasonable and while I can provide it, if I actually cared enough, I have made the choice that you do not deserve it. You are free to contact these non-profits yourself if its so important for you or you can accept the already irrefutable level of proof I have presented already.
I am however not going to bend backwards for your amusement. - +1 y

I provided more than sufficient proof for my claims, it is just not up to your insane standards.
Actually, lets just examine how stupid your standards of proof actually is. I made a claim that this bill does (among other things) lower voter turnout AKA get in the way of some people who would have voted otherwise from voting now. I proved these people existed through logical deduction to an irrefutable degree.
But this is not enough for you. No, you expect me to give you a real life person as an example. Why? I already established these people existed, giving a specific example would not change anything. The only reason you have for asking this is because it is harder to prove, not because the proof itself has greater value to the conversation than the logical argument I already provided.
In fact, the only reason you even asked for this proof is because you have no interest in the truth, you just want to undermine the argument and falsely claim victory. You are no less pathetic than people using the God of the gap fallacy and I would bet my last pair of underwear that you would just move the goalpost if I actually gave a shit to actually call up these organizations and get a physical example.

I mean.. Hypothetical situations are always supposed to be true, its just a case if they apply or not that is the question. That is what makes them a hypothetical situation following real rules and reaching a real conclusion.
My example is not even that hypothetical. It assumes that there are non-profits that performs campaigns to help people sign up to vote.. and there are non-profits that performs campaigns to help people sign up to vote.. The only way you could possibly argue against my conclusion is to either prove that there are no such groups or that signing up voters does not increase voters which is fucking absurd even for you. - +1 y

Which is objectively false. In fact, I would even argue that my hypothetical argument is far more true than finding an actual person as you demand since its evidence for itself where as I could easily falsify a person and you would be unable to verify it. Not like you ever cared though.

... But a man can fly by flapping his arms. It would be VERY challenging on earth indeed but swimming is a thing and if you changed the gravity and/or the medium such as replacing air with water then it is very possible indeed which is not to mention that increasing buoyancy would make us float etc..
There are countless ways in which a human can "fly" using any definition of the word you want and I can prove it without having to go to a space station and to it personally because hypothetical situations are correct when correctly applied.
