Here Are The Ways Republicans Are Trying To Restrict Voting Access
A Florida state Senate committee approved a bill Wednesday that would eliminate mail-in ballot drop boxes in the state, despite bipartisan opposition from local election officials.
Other legislation to limit drop box access has been introduced this year in Pennsylvania, Virginia and Georgia.
Almost half of all bills aimed at restricting access seek to limit mail-in voting, according to the Brennan Center for Justice, including an Arizona bill that would require mail-in ballots to be notarized, bills in four states that would prevent absentee ballot applications from being sent if not requested and a South Carolina bill requiring photo ID to be shown to return a mail-in ballot.
Bills have been introduced in 18 states this year to enact tougher voter ID requirements, among the more extreme being a Mississippi measure that would ban an out-of-state driver's license from being an acceptable form of ID to vote and a New Hampshire bill prohibiting student IDs from being used for voting.
Bills to toughen voter registration have been proposed in at least 13 states, the Brennan Center found, such as a Texas bill that would redirect voter registration authority from local officials to the secretary of state's office, which would review registration to verify citizenship in a joint effort with state law enforcement.
