Statement of Concern

Statement of Concern Statement June 1, 2021 We, the undersigned, are scholars of democracy who have watched the recent deterioration of U.S. elections and liberal democracy with growing alarm. Specifically, we have watched with deep concern as Republican-led state legislatures across the country have in recent months proposed or implemented what we consider radical changes to core electoral procedures in response to unproven and intentionally destructive allegations of a stolen election. Collectively, these initiatives are transforming several states into political systems that no longer meet the minimum conditions for free and fair elections. Hence, our entire democracy is now at risk.

Georgia runoff results highlight state's stark divide

The Globe and Mail ELIJAH NOUVELAGE/Reuters Election Day in Georgia turned out to be Groundhog Day – a virtual repeat of the November presidential race that was too close to call on election night in a bitterly divided electorate. A repeat performance – once again Georgia provided a huge rebuff to President Donald Trump – with the verdict sending another Democratic shock wave, and two new Democratic senators, to Washington. Two months ago, the close-call election in the state was a vital building block of president-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory, which was on the verge of being confirmed in the Capitol Wednesday before violence disrupted the proceedings. An equally close vote in the Senate runoff in Georgia this week ended the GOP’s control of the Senate and put a sweep of the legislative and executive branches of the American government in the hands of the Democrats.
