253 new voting restrictions introduced in 43 states so far this year finds @BrennanCenter

Dems can keep Jim Crow filibuster & allow GOP to pass explosion of Jim Crow 2.0 laws

Or they can eliminate filibuster & pass John Lewis Voting Rights Act & For the People Act

Voter suppression bills introduced by Georgia Republicans:

-ends Sunday voting when Black churches do Souls to Polls

"HR1 is a high priority for us" @WHCOS tells @JoyAnnReid, responding to GOP voter suppression efforts documented in my piece

Iowa legislature passes new voter suppression law cutting 9 days of early voting, limiting drop boxes to 1 per county, preventing counties from sending mail ballot applications

GOP senator says “most in my caucus believe election was stolen” in state Trump won by 8 points!

"Why are we doing this in Iowa?" said Rep. Sharon Steckman. "We had no fraud. We had record turnout. People were happy with the way they got to vote absentee-a million people. And you better believe some of those people were Republicans, because you won." desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…
