You might want to read that article.

Firstly, it's dealing with restrictions on MAIL-IN AND EARLY VOTING, not on your ability to vote. Someone who wants to vote can still go in person to vote... which is how it's been done for pretty much all of history. There are several states that are asking for people to provide reasons for voting absentee, but not only is that not the same, the majority are already states that are safely red (like Oklahoma). I don't see why the Republicans would 'need to cheat/purge rolls' to win a state they're pretty much always going to win anyways.

Secondly, even if these restrictions were, indeed, some 4D chess move designed specifically to target minority voters, they're still free to vote on election day in-person.

Thirdly, and really think about this, don't you think it's a little bit weird that the narrative is just 'Democrats want fair, free, honest, and open elections but the evil Republicans want to restrict it. So anything they do is bad and hurts democracy while supporting the Democrats is good?' Remember, that bill got blocked via a majority of votes and, well, have you considered that Democrats might ALSO be perfectly willing to do the same lying, cheating, and everything else to win? That, maybe, they are seeing things like what happened in Virginia and NJ and are in a panic and trying to thwart a massive surge of votes against them in the midterms to hold on to power regardless of what the voters want? You seem to be assuming it's going only one way here (Dem good, Rep bad). Heck, it could just as easily be both parties trying to cheat with no good guy (which is close to where I stand personally).

If you ask me though, this reeks more of Biden throwing a hissy fit because his bill got blocked and he's going to pay for it HARD in the midterms as a result than it does of actual corruption on the part of the right. Didn't they have to, like, convince several democrats to come over to their side as well to block?
