Republicans Not Focused on Key Threats to Voting

Politico: “A flood of Republican-backed efforts to tighten voter ID laws is serving as a distraction from more serious threats to the American voting system.”

“Experts point to recent rollbacks to frontline programs that protect state and local elections, as well as cuts to the top federal agency that guards electoral systems, as key threats ahead of the midterms. But lawmakers are focused elsewhere: They’re currently debating policy measures to crack down on noncitizen voting and move election certification authorities to the federal government.”
