Georgia Republicans respond to losing by attacking democracy

You knew this was coming:

Republican state senators introduced a package of bills Monday to ban automatic voter registration, ballot drop boxes and no-excuse absentee voting in Georgia.

The proposals amount to an overhaul of Georgia’s election laws after record turnout resulted in wins for Democrats, including Joe Biden’s run for president and the bids by Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock for the U.S. Senate.

One measure would prevent voters from being automatically registered to vote when they get their driver’s licenses. Another would ban drop boxes, requiring absentee ballots to be returned through the mail or at county election offices.

In addition, a proposal would roll back a state law allowing registered voters to cast an absentee ballot for any reason. Absentee voting would be limited to those over 75 years old, voters with disabilities or anyone required to be absent from his or her precinct.

The only alternative would be for Republicans to start offering policies that actually appeal to voters, and hahahaha that’s certainly not an option.

The question now is whether Manchin and Sinema will eventually figure out that it’s particularly important to marginal Democratic legislators that Congress ban these practices.
