"...So far, other than the report itself, by the Brennan Center for Law and Justice at New York University, there’s been little—or little-noticed—response. "
You heard it here first folks. PeoplesWor|d is sharing some groundbreaking news that nobody else is even willing to report!
Elections are safe and secure. This was established in 2020, so there is nothing to see here.
I don't think that degree of optimism is justified.
My notes on this are a little old, but:
No VRA protections, voter purges/caging (Crosscheck), targeted disenfranchisement & gerrymandering, insecure/unauditable voting machines, undermined census, and gaming the electoral college, all impact the fairness of our elections, on top of the naive first-past-the-post implementation.
Not sure how much I can trust that source. And no right-winger will ever accept it either.
Anyone with a more direct link to a source about this?
Agreed, that article was kind of a mess., and you really have to already agree with it to stay along for the ride. Even as someone who shares their general perspective, I can't help but to get the same vibe as I do reading unhinged conservative outlets, just from a different side. The wiring style evokes a feeling more of unsubstantiated unhinged conspiracy theory than a concrete writeup.
A lot of time is spent name dropping organizations and you have to already know them to have any idea why you might want to care about them, but not saying concretely what exactly it is, just that it is hard right nonsense that every acronym they can mention is outraged over. They even name drop the UAW in a way that lets them type it in but without citing then on the actual current reality, because the UAW hasn't really come out against Trump.
When it gets to describing the actual "plan", it mostly still didn't explain exactly what it is talking about. It eventually gets to concretely mentioning two precise things, the requirement to prove citizenship in way that may be disproportionately difficult for people who had a name change, and an onerous voting certification. The rest of the elements are left too vague to try to understand.
This article may help keep up the attention and energy of folks already keeping up with this stuff, but anyone vaguely on a fence won't make it through the first paragraph without getting a bit skeptical, and almost certainly won't make it to the meat of the article before giving up and moving on to other articles.
Funny, the moment I read 'radical right' I got the exact same sense you did.
