Weird headline, considering half the article is about states enacting new restrictions
The big picture: 29 states and Washington, D.C., have enacted a total of 70 laws expanding voting rights this year, while 16 states have enacted 29 laws to restrict voting, according to data and analysis by the nonprofit Voting Rights Lab (VRL).
Yes, but the point is that there have been more expansions of voting rights than restrictions nationwide in part due to the blowback against restrictions largely in red states. This is all state level stuff so its just highly dependent on where you live as to whether you are seeing expansions or restrictions personally.
I don’t think that’s a valid conclusion based on your quote.
If all 70 of those laws made tiny, incremental changes, they have a small impact. If all 29 of the restrictions caused massive restrictions and reorganization of voting practices, they’d be incredibly disruptive. You can’t just look at the number of laws passed.
Uh oh. More democracy means more people of color are allowed to vote, and it turns out they don’t like white supremacists!
