Legislation in 38 states would set conditions for the kind of “chaos and delay” that Trump exploited in 2020.
“Election subversion and voter suppression really go hand in hand; they are two sides of the same coin.”
The restructuring of election boards enabled avenues for “altering the racial composition and skewing the bipartisan distribution of the members of the boards,” according to the report. In short, the new Georgia laws make it easier to stack election boards with white Republicans, even in diverse areas such as Fulton and Ware Counties.
In 2023 alone, lawmakers in 14 states considered at least 31 bills that would shift some control over local elections to state legislatures, according to the report. Like Georgia, proposals in Texas target specific counties and particularly Harris County, home to the city of Houston and one of the fastest-growing multicultural populations in the nation, not to mention large numbers of voters who lean to the left.
While the report is intentionally nonpartisan and does not mention Trump or political parties, virtually all the election subversion bills in each state were filed by Republicans and far right followers of Trump. Perhaps of greatest concern to individual voters are bills in a handful of states that would empower partisan “poll watchers” and make it difficult for poll workers to remove those who are abusive or disruptive to voters. Many states allow political groups and parties to send observers to the polls, but a bill in Pennsylvania, for example, would allow any voter to register as a poll watcher anywhere in the state.
Many election subversion bills are designed to create opportunities for harassing voters and poll workers alike.
