Some Democratic-led states seek to bolster voter protections
BY AYANNA ALEXANDER

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lawmakers in several Democratic-
controlled states are advocating sweeping voter protec-
tions this year, reacting to what they view as a broad un-
dermining of voting rights by the Supreme Court and Re-
publican-led states as well as a failed effort in Congress to
bolster access to the polls.
Legislators in Connecticut, Maryland, Minnesota, New
Jersey and New Mexico have introduced voting rights
measures, while Michigan’s secretary of state is prepar-

Among other things, the proposals would require state
approval for local governments to change redistricting or
voting procedures, ban voter suppression and intimida-

increase protections for voters with disabilities, ensure the
right to vote for those with previous felony convictions
and instruct judges to prioritize voter access when hear-
