Worst Case Scenarios on Voting Rights. [View all]
Lets say that pressure from corporate America doesnt work.
Lets say that states with GOP led legislatures and Governors go ahead and pass voter suppression legislation similar to Georgia.
What then?
Will Democrats and their allies have the time, money, and expertise to try to comply with these new laws while educating the public on what is now needed for them to be eligible to vote in 2022?
Can we sufficiently motivate our voters to not give up and do whatever it takes to still vote?
And, if we do still vote in big numbers and win in some of these red or purple states, will the GOP actually try to overturn elections in states that allow their legislatures to oversee their elections instead of a Secretary of State?
FYI....I hold out little hope of passing any Federal legislation for Voting Rights with our current Senate makeup. Losing, or at least altering, the filibuster would be needed for that and we dont currently have 51 Dems willing to do so. Sigh.
Can anyone cheer me up and give me some hope on this subject.
I worry that 2022 might be a bloodbath for Dems.
