At least 11 states have enacted 13 restrictive voting laws this year, according to a new analysis from the liberal-leaning Brennan Center for Justice at New York University’s law school.
The Brennan Center said the 13 restrictive laws enacted so far this year is greater than the number of restrictive laws enacted in any year in the last decade with an exception to 2021 — in which at least 14 states, during about the same time frame, had passed 22 restrictive laws following the 2020 election.
According to this year’s report, in addition, at least four states have enacted five laws directed at election interference, including making it a crime for an election official to send an unsolicited mail ballot in Arkansas. The other states that enacted election interference laws include Florida, Georgia and South Dakota. In Florida, a law enabling the statewide prosecutor to have new power to go after people for election-related crimes also was enacted this year.
