Georgia’s state Senate has approved legislation that would end the right of voters to cast absentee ballots without excuses, while toughening voter ID requirements. It’s one of more than 250 voter suppression laws being pushed by Republicans in state legislatures around the U.S. in the wake of the 2020 election.
On Monday, Iowa’s Republican Governor Kim Reynolds signed a voter suppression bill that limits Iowa’s early voting period and closes polls one hour earlier on Election Day.
