[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Republicans have closed tens of thousands of polling locations across the country, primarily in Democrat voting counties and cities. You wouldn't need drive-thru voting or mail-in voting if Republicans didn't shut down the physical polls.

Similarly, multiple states have now [b]passed legislation that allows the state legislature to overturn any election results they don't like, including the state's Presidential results[/b]. Why are political elites overriding the voters?

This is a Republican-generated crisis. [/quote]

Can you give specific examples of the bolded?  I tried looking and the one example I found was Michigan, but it’s a provision that was previously in place. [/quote]
The Georgia legislation specifically allows the state legislature to supersede the authority of county election boards, and removed the popularly elected Secretary of State from an elections role and replaced him/her with someone appointed by the state legislature.

That’s what passed while the “liberal media” was outraged that it also banned offering water to voters waiting in line at the polls.

Which did you hear about more? Which is more important?

This also includes additional details about similar legislation in Arizona, Kansas and Arkansas.[/quote]
