GOP Attacks On Voting And Voters. Many Republicans continue to spew the notion that the 2020 presidential election was stolen claiming, among other things, that Republican ballots were ground up and fed to chickens, that China dumped many thousands of votes into ballot boxes, that tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants voted, that thousands of dead people voted, that mail-in ballots were all corrupt, that electronic voting machines were hacked by Venezuela or Italy or China or others, etc., etc., etc.

Never mind that numerous Republicans-led studies failed to find extensive voting fraud. Indeed, the few examples they found were – you guessed it – committed by Republicans.

Of course, Republicans have never been known to let the truth get in the way of a good story. So, in state legislatures around the country, they have introduced numerous bills to restrict the number of polling places, the number of drop boxes, the number of days for early voting, the use of electronic voting machines, the use of electronic vote counters, etc.

They have passed bills to require special voter IDs and limited their availability. They have purged voter registration lists. They have threatened election workers, even Republican election workers, to flee their jobs and, often, their home counties or states.

They have gerrymandered congressional and legislative districts to marginalize minorities. And, of course, they have tried to intimidate voters by placing armed “observers” near polling places and ballot drop boxes.

One might get the idea that Republicans don’t want all American citizens to vote.
