Changing election laws

0.0003 percent and 0.0025 percent of all votes cast. Nonetheles­s, 60 percent of Republican­s believe Joe Biden won only because of widespread fraud, according to a recent poll. Republican officials have cited that belief in justifying rollbacks of expanded voting. Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita said the expansion of vote-by-mail had “shaken confidence” in “election integrity,’’ and that state legislatur­es passing voting restrictio­ns are merely “responding to their constituen­ts.” Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, a Republican, said the state’s new voting law “is really the fallout from the 10 weeks of misinforma­tion that flew in from former President Donald Trump.”
