A nice roundup of what Republican-held legislatures have done in swing states to suppress voting in November.

Since 2011, 18 states have enacted voter-suppression bills, with similar ones pending in 12 more.

In the presidential race, it’s hand-to-hand legal combat, with almost every battleground state embroiled in a struggle over voter eligibility.

Michigan’s bills attack the League of Women Voters by requiring some volunteers to attend state-approved training sessions before they can register voters. The catch is that the bill makes no provisions for such sessions.

Now that’s clever. Even if you set up training sessions, good luck getting the state elections supervisor to approve them.

These people aren’t democratic at all. They’re authoritarian.
