Donald Trump

This is happening in various forms (and under various guises) across the US, but particularly in the swing states. Republicans, as expected, are going to try to get Trump back in the White House by hook or by crook (emphasis on crook).

Republicans ask the Supreme Court to disenfranchise thousands of swing state voters

A new Supreme Court case could potentially hand Arizona to Donald Trump.

The Republican Party wants the Supreme Court to weigh in on a nauseatingly complicated voting rights case, which could potentially disenfranchise thousands of presidential voters in the swing state of Arizona. The case is known as Republican National Committee v. Mi Familia Vota.

The case involves an astoundingly convoluted system Arizona uses to register certain voters — one that emerged from 20 years of conflicting state and federal laws, plus seemingly endless litigation over those laws. Among other things, Republicans claim that several thousand Arizona voters should be allowed to vote only in congressional elections, and that they are barred from voting in state and local elections or voting for the president.


 
Georgia Election Board votes to add requirements before certification

A new Georgia election rule approved Monday creates additional steps before results can be certified, including a requirement to verify vote counts prior to the deadline for overseas and military ballots. The State Election Board voted 3-2 to finalize the rule, which was supported by three Republican board members whom Donald Trump praised during a recent Atlanta rally. Opponents of the rule said it could disenfranchise voters or create delays if county election boards refuse to certify elections as required by law.

The rule is the latest effort to change what it means to certify election results ahead of this year’s presidential election, following up on a requirement passed earlier this month that counties conduct an undefined “reasonable inquiry” before finalizing results. Voting rights groups predicted the new rules will cause chaos in November. “I can also just see us literally impacting the entire nation with this,” said Brittany Burns of Protect the Vote GA during a Capitol press conference. “This can actually impact the presidential election.”


 
Disenfranchising voters is not just a Maga thing. It has been Republican tactics for a very long time. Lots of methods are used: gerrymandering district boundaries, ‘cleaning’ voter rolls, ludicrous technical rules for postal votes, removal of drop boxes etc etc.
