Former Secretary of State and twice-failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton claimed Wednesday that Republican-led voter integrity bills in several states represent a "Clear attempt to move away from a pluralistic, multi-racial democracy and toward white supremacist authoritarianism."
Clinton's comments come amid a widespread effort in GOP-led states - including Georgia, Florida and Arizona -to pass limits on mail-in voting, new voter ID requirements and other restrictions in the wake of the 2020 presidential election.
"Much of the blame for this backsliding rests with the Supreme Court, which, thanks to the election of President Trump, is even more hostile to voting rights today than it was when it gutted a crucial provision of the Voting Rights Act in 2013. But the problem is more insidious," she added.
"The emboldening of white supremacists and conspiracy theorists during Trump's campaign and time in the White House along with the international movement against liberal democracy have exacerbated this perfect storm," Clinton wrote.
Last month, Department of Justice sued Georgia, alleging the Peach State's election law violates the Voting Rights Act's protections for minority voters.
At the time, Attorney General Merrick Garland called the lawsuit "The first of many steps we are taking to ensure that all eligible voters can cast a vote, that all lawful votes are counted, and that every voter has access to accurate information."
"Joe Biden, Stacey Abrams, and their allies tried to force an unconstitutional elections power grab through Congress - and failed. Now, they are weaponizing the U.S. Department of Justice to carry out their far-left agenda that undermines election integrity and empowers federal government overreach in our democracy."
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
