I think that's kinda deceptive, clumping a wide range of responses into simple bar graphs.

I'd like to see it as a shaded bar graph.
 
Mods, any chance we can merge with this thread if the OP agrees???

Hoping this will be a catch-all thread for voter intimidation/suppression/disenfranchisement efforts in every state. 59 million Americans live in a state in which one or both chambers of the state legislature is controlled by the party that won fewer statewide votes in 2016 and 2018 (thanks to...

I'm ok with it as long as OOP title is adjusted to "Republican voter suppression thread". Democrats don't do voter suppression. I just one place we keep track of Republican shenanigans
 
Regarding abbotts proclamation an emergency lawsuit has been filed aimed at blocking it and I think on the surface likely to pass. They are arguing that it's a capricious order and it's too close to the election to do this sort of thing. The latter argument is pretty strong as left and right wing courts have kind of been sticking to this SCOTUS precedent. Likely abbotts order will be struck down.

Abbott is pitching bogus paranoia. Here in Denver, there are ballot drop boxes all over the place, even in parks-

Denver election results: All four city ballot measures cruise to victory

That means the city will have its own transportation department, for one thing.

Nobody messes with them. No tampering, no fraud, no nothing.

Today in voter suppression news: Miller Park and Fiserv Forum will NOT be used as early voting sites

“Unfortunately, the addition of these two sites could be legally challenged due to a recent court ruling.”
milwaukeerecord.com milwaukeerecord.com

The GOP in Wisconsin is really a pile of crap. The Bucks and Brewers ownership agreed to open their facilities for early voting locations. In fact, if you recall this was part of the agreement when the Bucks and other NBA players walked out during the playoffs in the bubble - that the Fiserv forum would be a voting location. Now under the auspices of the GOP legally fighting the locations, the two will not be used. What a damned joke.

Are the finals happening now? Seems like a good time for another walk out.

Well sadly, the Bucks got bounced by the Heat (who are in the finals).
It's just so pathetic.. The GOP does NOTHING to encourage voting except Trump tweeting telling people to vote twice. The GOP has nothing positive to sell. Nothing to actually benefit people and the whole of America.
 
Please merge with the Republican voter suppression thread if ok with OP. Trying to keep a single repository

Little follow up to this - didn't realize that Lambeau Field is also a voting location. So the GOP apparently only have an issue with Fiserv and Miller Park. Those are in the location where 70% of the the state's black population resides...
