Just one more step towards the American slide into authoritarianism and minority rule.

The Republican Party is the party of the New Apartheid.

I’d like to hear from Justice Roberts how this jibes with his opinion that the VRA is no longer necessary.

As voting rights recede they show a decidedly red shift, it’s a law of physics.

Republicans love everything about elections except the “voting” part.

So now it doesn’t matter if Republicans gerrymander the districts to pick their voters, they now control who can vote. And it seems that in AZ they don’t want Native Americans-irony of this one flies right over their pointy heads, and the elderly-a large portion of their base, to be able to participate in the election process.

Looks like allot of older voters- i.e. Trump voters- will find their vote Cancelled because of these restrictions.

You’d think with such restrictive voting laws, the GOP could’ve prevented all those fake Presidential Electors from casting illegal votes in 2020.

Hey, I’ve an idea; how about the State of Arizona furnishes ID for all of its residents? Would that not solve a lot of problems? The GQP answer, of course, is to limit the number of potential Democratic voters. They can’t win fairly, so they cheat. Old news.

That wouldn’t work. Most of their voters can’t write.

We need to borrow some grit from the Ukrainians and not give in. The R’s want to make it difficult to vote we need to push back and help get voters registered anyway. See if they bother to do the same for their own.

Their goal is to eventually condense the voting requirements to Wealthy, White, and Far Right. They’re in a fascist feeding frenzy with their control of our supremely corrupt court.
