Anti Election Integrity Law Passed In GOP State

The law requires the state to send out mail-in ballots to all of its registered voters.

“I’m signing this bill because I believe making sure voting is easy and accessible, and increasing voter participation, is important. Having said that, we should not limit this expansion of access to general elections alone, which already have the highest voter turnout,” the governor revealed in a statement. “For greater consistency and to expand access further, I am asking the General Assembly to extend the provisions of this bill to primary elections, local elections and school budget votes when they return to session in January.”

Nationally, Republicans have sought to strengthen voter identification laws, limit mail-in voting, and bring an end to no-excuse absentee voting, all of which they claimed leads to the possibility of fraud, while their Democratic counterparts argue that their real objective is to disenfranchise voters.
