Republicans Want to Reshape US Election Laws After Record 2020 Turnout
CHICAGO – Months after record-high U.S. voter turnout propelled Democrats to victory in the 2020 elections, giving them control of the White House and both houses of Congress, Republicans are attempting to reshape election laws in state legislatures across the nation.
In state after state, Republicans seek to limit opportunities for early and absentee balloting that Americans flocked to last year Democratic voters in particular.
In America’s heartland, Iowa is among the first examples of the trend.
More than 2 million Iowans were registered to vote in the 2020 general election, a record in a state with a population of just over 3.1 million.
