Commentary: During the pandemic access to voting increased and contributed to higher voter participation in 2020. Since the election there have been efforts to reduce voter rights based on disinformation about voter fraud. The Brennan Center for Justice reported that over 250 bills have been proposed in 43 states this year, which would restrict access to the ballot. Some proposals take away the vote-by-mail option, some tighten ID requirements, some rig the redistricting process, some slash voter registration opportunities, some purge voter rolls, and others directly attempt to suppress democracy. This includes ways for state legislators to modify the election process if they do not like the results.
