President Kamala Harris
I can only assume you are totally ignorant (could have stopped there) of what Republicans are attempting to do......in addition to false electors and Trump demanding extra votes...... In recent years, Republicans have pursued various changes to state voting laws, which some critics argue could improve Donald Trump’s chances in future elections, including the 2024 presidential race. Here are key ways in which these efforts are unfolding: 1. Tightening Voter ID Requirements: • Many Republican-controlled states have pushed for stricter voter ID laws. These laws typically require voters to present a government-issued ID (like a driver’s license or passport) at polling stations. Proponents argue these laws prevent voter fraud, but critics say they disproportionately affect minority, low-income, and younger voters—demographics that tend to lean Democratic. States such as Georgia, Texas, and Florida have enacted stricter ID laws in recent years . 2. Limiting Early Voting and Mail-in Ballots: • Changes to early voting and mail-in voting processes have been a focus. During the 2020 election, Donald Trump repeatedly claimed, without evidence, that mail-in voting was susceptible to widespread fraud. Following this, some states moved to restrict mail-in voting or tighten the rules for obtaining and returning mail-in ballots. Georgia and Arizona, for instance, passed laws that limit the number of drop boxes and set stricter deadlines for submitting absentee ballots . • Limiting early voting windows has also been a strategy in some states, making it harder for people who cannot vote on Election Day to cast a ballot. This could disproportionately affect working-class voters, many of whom supported Democrats in 2020. 3. Changes to Election Oversight: • In some states, Republicans have sought to change the structure of election oversight bodies, often giving state legislatures—controlled by Republicans—greater power over election administration. This has included attempts to limit the power of secretaries of state or local election boards, which oversee the counting of votes and certification of elections. For example, in Georgia, a law was passed allowing the state legislature to exert more influence over local election boards . • These efforts are seen by critics as a way to exert greater partisan control over election outcomes, particularly in swing states like Arizona and Georgia. 4. “Election Integrity” Laws: • Bills branded as “election integrity” measures have proliferated, aiming to address alleged (but largely unproven) voter fraud. These laws often impose new restrictions on voter registration, limit the assistance voters can receive in casting their ballots, or purge voter rolls. While these laws are presented as necessary for maintaining public confidence in elections, opponents argue they target Democratic voters and suppress turnout. 5. Revisiting Electoral Processes: • Some Republicans have suggested changes to how electoral votes are allocated. States like Wisconsin and Michigan have explored proposals to allocate electoral votes by congressional district rather than statewide popular vote. In heavily gerrymandered states, this could benefit Republicans even if a Democrat wins the popular vote statewide. Impact and Criticism: These efforts are often justified as necessary to prevent voter fraud and protect election integrity, but critics argue they disproportionately affect groups that tend to vote for Democrats, such as people of color, young voters, and urban populations. The concern is that by making it harder for these groups to vote or by centralizing control of election administration, Republicans could tilt future elections, including the 2024 race, in Trump’s favor. The debate around these changes remains deeply polarized, with Republicans framing them as crucial for safeguarding democracy and Democrats calling them voter suppression tactics designed to shape the electorate in favor of Trump and the GOP.

Republicans are trying to up their early voting game — but Trump keeps getting in the way
Republicans are pouring tens of millions of dollars into getting GOP voters to cast ballots before Election Day. They’re frustrated because Donald Trump keeps getting in the way. In just the last few weeks, the former president has dismissed early voting as “stupid,” falsely claimed that 20 percent of mail ballots in Pennsylvania are “fraudulent,” suggested mail carriers could “lose hundreds of thousands of ballots, maybe purposefully,” and baselessly accused Democrats of exploiting a program that sends ballots to overseas and military voters to evade citizenship checks. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/06/trumps-early-voting-00182611 -
