Since 2022, nine states where Republican officials administer elections have quit a nonprofit, nonpartisan consortium that helps keep voter rolls up to date through interstate data exchange. They did so amid pressure from former president Donald Trump, who claimed in March that the consortium “pumps the rolls” for Democrats. Consequently, voter rolls in those states are less accurate, and it’s becoming harder to detect the small number of people who improperly vote in multiple states. Indeed, as 2024 begins, these same election officials find themselves spending taxpayer dollars to re-create the very tools that the system they abandoned had provided.

    the people in charge dont actually believe there in election integrity issues. its just an issue they can utilize as propaganda to control their voting base.

    they wanted it to be contentios, like abortion. but when normal humans agree, and want to constructively work together towards a common goal of ‘election integrity’, the GOP will bail. they dont need solutions. they dont need the dog to catch the car.

    they just need very ignorant, angry voters that can be led around by the brass ring in their noses called ‘republican’
