GOP Crackdown on “Voter Fraud” Targets Voters of Color, Democrats

HeadlineDec 22, 2023

A Washington Post investigation has found a Republican-led crackdown on alleged voter fraud has overwhelmingly targeted Democrats and people of color. The Post found Black and Latinx people made up more than 75% of defendants accused of voter fraud in states including Florida, Texas and Ohio, with registered Democrats more than two-and-a-half times as likely as Republicans to be prosecuted. So-called election integrity units in Virginia, Georgia and Arkansas failed to obtain a single guilty verdict despite millions of dollars spent investigating alleged irregularities.
