States abandoning voting rule changes used for 2020 election

There was a long list of rule changes made before the 2020 vote that were the focus of lawsuits, but judges uniformly rejected the cases on procedural grounds rather than on the issues raised.

In Pennsylvania, the Supreme Court ordered ballots to be counted days after the election in violation of state laws.

TRENDING: Is America having a near-death experience, or is this the end? Now Just the News reports multiple states, including several swing states, are moving to roll back the changes in voting rules and regulations to the standards used before the 2020 election.

"The efforts come after an historically chaotic election process that has left millions of Americans doubtful of election fairness, security, transparency and accountability," the report said.

"Those rules likely contributed to a record 158,000,000-plus votes cast in the 2020 election. But the relaxation of various voting requirements has also led to significant distrust in the election system: Nearly 40% of voters believe that U.S. elections are beset by fraud, while a similar number claim that such concerns haven't been properly vetted by public authorities." The analysis found that in Georgia, which went for Biden in one of several razor-thin margins, the state Senate has approved a requirement that voters submit photocopies of voter identification documents in order to obtain an absentee ballot application.

Lawmakers in Pennsylvania, where Biden wont by fewer than 100,000 votes, want to get rid of the state's "No-excuse" mail-in voting, adopted during the run-up to 2020.

The report said, a bill in Arizona, where Biden won another narrow victory, would make it a felony for any public official to send out a mail-in ballot to any voter not already on the state's early voting list.
