GOPers In Favor Of Voting Act

Reagan's Attorney General Slams Voter Suppression Agenda, When Will More Republicans Do the Same?
...So what's changed? What is it that hyper-partisans on the right find so hard to accept about the last few elections? Why must they reject the outcomes as "cheating?" Do they not believe that minority communities are growing? Do they not believe that, in this age of aggressive attempts to codify racism into our laws, minorities are registering to vote and voting in larger numbers? Do they not believe that increasing numbers of white Americans are rejecting the politics of division, such that ploys to foment racial antagonism provide limited upside and may even backfire? Or do they simply reject the right of We the People to elect a government that represents our interests, now that a politically significant number of us are non-white?

But most importantly, when will principled conservatives serving in the U.S. Senate, in the U.S. House, and in governors' mansions come forward to denounce this desperate, radical attack on voting rights breaking out like a rash across America?
