Republicans propagated false claims of widespread voter fraud during the 2020 election, leading to court losses and public deception. These unfounded allegations prompted them to impose voting restrictions, particularly targeting black voters rather than aiming to address any legitimate fraud. Examples include laws limiting voting hours and creating longer lines in minority-use polling places. The underlying principles appear to justify infringement on fundamental rights in response to manufactured public concerns. If public fears dictate policy, logic suggests similar action should be taken regarding gun control and addressing gun violence.
The restrictions imposed by Republicans, such as limiting early voting hours and increasing lines at polling places, are aimed at suppressing black voters rather than addressing fraud.
The principles guiding Republican arguments suggest that even minuscule issues warrant infringement on fundamental rights, creating a pattern observable in discussions around both voting and gun control.
