"Two years ago, the biggest battles in state legislatures were over voting
rights. Democrats loudly — and sometimes literally — protested as Republicans
passed new voting restrictions in states like Georgia, Florida and Texas. This
year, attention has shifted to other hot-button issues, but the fight over the
franchise has continued. Republicans have enacted dozens of laws this year that
will make it harder for some people to vote in future elections.
But this year, voting-rights advocates got some significant wins too: States —
controlled by Democrats
and Republicans — have enacted more than twice as
many laws
expanding voting rights as restricting them, although the most
comprehensive voter-protection laws passed in blue states. In all, 39 states
and Washington, D.C., have changed their election laws in some way this year.
Here’s a rundown of the most important shifts."
