COMMENTARY: Conservative lawmakers passed new laws last year as part of their efforts to suppress the vote. They were, unfortunately, just the beginning, writes jamiedhoag.
Stickers reading"I Voted By Mail" are displayed as the Wayne County Board of Elections prepares absentee ballots in Goldsboro, N.C., on Sept. 22, 2022.
. In 2021, 19 states passed 34 restrictive voting laws. Among them is a Florida law, signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, that limits the hours a voter can drop off a mail-in ballot at a drop box, restricts voter registration initiatives and criminalizes handing out food or water to voters standing in line. Voting rights advocates immediately challenged the law in court, but it remains in effect.
These laws are just a few examples of what conservative lawmakers accomplished last year in their efforts to suppress the vote. They were, unfortunately, just the beginning.
