YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHeading toward elections in 2022, it's Code Red for American democracy with Republican strategists in key states moving to take partisan control of the vote count, threatening what has historically been an impartial nonpartisan process.
The media highlights the clash between Trump's unproven charges of a stolen election in 2020 and Democratic protests that Republican legislatures in 17 states are suppressing the next vote with new restrictions on mail voting, early voting, and voter registration.
But the greatest threat to our democracy and the popular vote comes from a stealth maneuver by GOP lawmakers in Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin to inject partisan politics into certifying the vote, overriding established procedures and crippling or firing independent-minded election officials.
Hopes seem slim for bipartisan action by Congress to prevent another ugly showdown over the Electoral vote in 2024. But privately some Republican senators agree with Democrats that Congress must act to avoid a repeat of last January 6th that took American democracy to the brink of a breakdown.
