Impact of GOP Efforts to Limit Voting Not Clear

Harry Enten: “Republicans’ response to losing control of the White House and Senate has been to try and make voting harder in a number of states. Most notably, perhaps, is Georgia, where they’re going after ways of voting that were popular for Black voters and Democrats in 2020 (e.g. mail voting).”

“Democrats and Black advocacy groups are, of course, up in arms and trying to stop the GOP.”

“We can’t know how these changes, if they come to pass, would affect future elections. But by looking at two of the most prominent moves Republicans are trying to make, we can see it’s not at all clear that Republicans will succeed in helping their electoral prospects.”
