In Georgia, the state Democratic Party is training hundreds of volunteers on how to acquire voter ID and hiring new staff members to conduct voter outreach and education. Some states are pursuing litigation as a primary strategy, while others are hoping for a divine intervention of sorts from national lawmakers or the courts, according to Politico.<\/p>\n<p>Texas Democrats <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/07\/26\/texas-democrats-request-care-packages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chose to flee<\/a> to Washington, D.C., in an attempt to deny quorum to the Texas legislature as Republicans tried to pass their new election law. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/06\/03\/media-texas-voter-bill-harris-county-houston-minorities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Here\u2019s How The Establishment Media Are Distorting The New Texas Voter Bill)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think the Democratic Party as a whole is prioritizing this issue and its potential damage in the way that they should,\u201d lead mail strategist for former President Barack Obama\u2019s two presidential campaigns Doug Herman told Politico. \u201cWe just went through an insurrection that was stoked by voter fraud lies, and the reaction to that from the Republican Party is to restrict the voting process so severely that only their voters can participate. And I don\u2019t understand the lack of fierce resistance to that from Americans and Democrats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Republican laws contain provisions that would both expand and restrict voting access in certain ways. Some pandemic-induced features of elections, such as drive-in voting, 24-hour voting or expanded use of mail-in ballots, are being scaled back or entirely eliminated.
