This week at Democracy Docket: Trump wants to ‘take over’ voting, while GOPers unveil a massive new suppression measure

Since states supposedly (per the Constitution but ignored by 45) control elections, then it will be up to states (and Democrats in red states plus Democrats running the blue states) and their (D)-supporting orgs, to deal with it.

Since Democrats are in the minority in Congress, other than doing everything they can to block the codification of any draconian voter legislation and making sure the DNC (and other fundraising entities like the DCCC & DSCC) to recruit and fund Democrats in every race - municipal/county/state/federal, there is not much else that can be done but pounding home to the American populace about being disenfranchised. Many of the blue cities have already put in place or are drafting things to put in place, to protect the polls from interference by 45's stormtrooper goons.

Unfortunately much of that populace didn't heed the warnings that Dems continually blasted out in 2024, dismissing it as the "same old political rhetoric and hyperbole", but hopefully they learned their lesson, and I think the results of a number of recent special elections where Democrats won and/or over-performed - particularly in locations that 45 won handily in 2024 - is a sign.
