While it’s said nearly every election, the most recent elections in the United States have been more important than ever as one party tries to end our democratic system at the direction of a wanna-be dictator, the twice-impeached ex-president who lost the popular vote, Donald Trump.

In a new video released by The Lincoln Project, voters are reminded what exactly is at stake in the 2022 mid-term elections: our constitutional right to vote. Republicans in every red state, and especially those in battleground states that went to Joe Biden in 2020, have gerrymandered minority voters almost out of existence in their districts. Trump’s continued insistence on lying to his supporters, telling them that the 2020 election was stolen from him rather than admit that he just lost, has guided Republicans in their efforts to overturn democracy as we know it.
The GOP knows that when voters are not restricted from being able to vote, they cannot win elections. Even Trump once told an interviewer while discussing Democrats’ agenda for expanding the vote during the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic by saying that:
‘The things they had in there were crazy. They had things, levels of voting that if you’d ever agreed to it, you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again.’
Twitter had a very positive reaction to the new, powerful ad about voting rights in their latest video. Read some of their comments below:
