Tennessee Republicans have now passed a bill in both legislative chambers that adds criminal & civil penalties to voter registration drives in an attempt to intimidate groups into not conducting them entirely out of fear of prosecutionhttps://twitter.com/srl/status/1121453847388524544 …
Democratic states have led the way pushing for automatic & same-day voter registration so that everyone can exercise their right to vote. Meanwhile, Republican states continue to try to make voter registration as burdensome as possible so they can suppress voteshttps://twitter.com/PoliticsWolf/status/1121454428169445376 …
That would seem to conflict with SCOTUS’ Citizens United and SpeechNow rulings.
SCOTUS happily disregards their previous decisions when it comes to partisanship. See how they ruled in citizens united vs the case about union campaign contributions last year
Didn’t see anything illegal being done by the voter registration groups. Did note that they submitted large numbers of registrations from poc. I think that may be what Tennessee is trying to outlaw.
Expect a legal challenge. No way can this be constitutional.
Side note: Let this be a clear reminder to the skeptics who say “voting doesn’t matter” and disengage themselves from elections. If your vote didn’t matter so much, the GOP wouldn’t be so hellbent on suppressing it.
How is this legal? Constitutional?
In the last 3 years that document has seemed to have lost all type of power under republican rule
Abundantly clear they don't want anyone voting at all
