New Report Warns "Tidal Wave" of Voter Suppression Laws Set to Intensify in 2022
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A new report by the Brennan Center for Justice warns the "tidal wave of
restrictive voting legislation" pushed by Republican states this year
will continue in 2022 as voters prepare to cast ballots in crucial
midterm elections. The group says 19 states passed 34 voter suppression
laws over the past year, despite no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
At least 13 bills have been prefiled in state legislatures for the
coming year.
