The Republicans and Voting Rights
Andrew Cohen, in Washington Monthly identifies what’s driving the Republican Party’s efforts to restrict and suppress voting (emphasis added):
Republican officials repeatedly concede that, in the words of South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, “If Republicans don’t challenge and change the US election system, there will never be another Republican president elected again.”
Republican state legislators justify the latest versions of their restrictive voting laws on the fantasy that the 2020 presidential election turned on voter fraud. They either cannot or will not concede, to themselves or their constituents, that Democrats can lawfully win elections without the kind of systemic voter fraud that has never occurred or been proven. And they’ve evidently given up on trying to woo voters with popular policies.
