Many GOP states have imposed new voting rules this year, some mirroring Trump’s midterm proposals
- More than three dozen voting laws passed in Republican-controlled states take effect this election season, many incorporating elements of President Donald Trump's stalled proposals for stricter registration and identification requirements.
- Following failed federal attempts by President Donald Trump to pass national proof-of-citizenship laws and voter ID mandates, state legislatures adopted similar strategies to influence this year's midterm elections.
- The Brennan Center identified nearly 40 laws taking effect this election season that make it harder for eligible voters to register or cast ballots, including new requirements for student IDs in New Hampshire and proof of citizenship in Ohio.
- Freda Levenson, legal director of the ACLU of Ohio, noted that databases used to verify citizenship are often outdated, threatening eligible voters as rights groups challenge these mandates in court.
- As early voting gets underway, voters face new hurdles like Ohio's eliminated four-day grace period for mail ballots, while Republican officials defend the rules as necessary to prevent noncitizen voting, citing charges against roughly 90 individuals.
