LA Gov. Signs Anti-Voter Bills And More Are Pending


Louisiana's Governor, Jeff Landry (R), has now signed Anti-Voter Bills into Law:

Senate Bill 101 - Bans Ranked-Choice-Voting (RCV) in Louisiana Elections.

Senate Bill 155 - Only allows Individuals to Assist with more than One Absentee Ballot, if they are helping Immediate Family Members.

Senate Bill 218 - Requires someone Assisting a Voter to provide their Address and Relationship to the Voter, and Reveal if they were Paid to Assist.

Senate Bill 226 - Requires that an Absentee Ballot that is Missing information and is Not Fixed by the Voter is considered a Challenged Ballot, that is only Counted if the Majority of the Election Board Decides it should be.

House Bill 285 - Requires the State Secretary of State’s Office to create an Election Integrity Division to Perform many Duties, including “conducting independent investigations into allegations of election irregularities.”

Senate Bill 449 - Defines a Qualified Voter or Elector as “a person who has the proper qualifications provided by law to be entitled to vote and who is lawfully registered to vote.”

House Bill 476 - Restricts People from Delivering more than One Absentee Ballot via Mail, unless they are sending Ballots on behalf of Immediate Family Members.

Every One of these Bills was passed with an eye on adding Barriers to Voting, Reducing Ballot Access, and Suppressing participation in Louisiana's Elections.

Opponents of Voting Rights are trying to Codify their pathway to Power in State Law, instead of winning Elections fair and square.

He added these New Suppressive Laws:

House Bill 114 - Creates New Procedures for maintaining Active Voter Lists and Specifies conditions under which Individuals can be Purged from Voter Rolls, making it easier for the State to Kick People Off the List of Registered Voters.

Senate Bill 436 - Requires Individuals to provide Proof-of-Citizenship to Register to Vote.

House Bill 506 - Requires Individuals and Entities to Register with the Secretary-of-State before conducting Voter Registration Drives. This is another Attack on 3rd Party Voting Rights Groups.

House Bill 581 - Criminalizes being a Witness on more than One Absentee Ballot for Non-Immediate Family Members, and requires Witnesses to provide their Mailing Address, another Restriction on Voter Registration Organizations.
