New York Times: “GOP lawmakers have stripped secretaries of state of their power, asserted more control over state election boards, made it easier to overturn election results, and pursued several partisan audits and inspections of 2020 results.” “Republican state lawmakers have introduced at least 216 bills in 41 states to give legislatures more power over elections officials… Of those, 24 have been enacted into law across 14 states.” Axios: “The bills, triggered by baseless claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, threaten to politicize traditionally non-partisan election functions by giving Republicans more control over election systems.”
