Republican Legislators Push to Tighten Voting Rules

'Taken together, the state-by-state changes are likely to have an impact on close elections, Mr. Tokaji said.

“Remarkably, most of these significant changes are going under the radar,” he added. “A lot of voters are going to be surprised and dismayed when they go to their polling place and find that the rules have changed.” . .

But with the presidential election campaign season already under way, Democrats say they are taking no chances. The Democratic Governors Association started a Voter Protection Project this month to educate voters and encourage them to speak out against the measures. It also began running online advertisements.'

Dems should have a movement/some actions to counter this repug b.s., imo, 'cause this could be a killer, esp considering crap legislation a bunch of repug govs are throwing around.

Thoughts on reaching Dems about this?
