First Read: “Across the country, Republican-controlled state legislatures have done more than pass voting restrictions after losing the 2020 presidential contest.”

“They’ve enacted or drafted provisions that create new election powers, change election administration and punish election officials who don’t perform their duties — which all have the potential of injecting chaos into the counting of the next presidential race.”

“And in several states around the country, pending or passed legislation would also levy hefty fines — or even criminal penalties — on elections officials for failing to follow the law to the letter.”
