Voting curbs enacted in 18 US states this year despite none finding widespread fraud

Thirty laws limit mail and early voting, impose tougher voter ID laws and risk faulty purges, says Brennan Center analysis

At least 18 US states have enacted more than two dozen laws this year that restrict voting access, according to a new report from the Brennan Center for Justice.

The report found that the 30 laws that have been passed since 1 January make mail voting and early voting more difficult, impose harsher voter ID requirements, and make faulty voter [roll] purges more likely, among other things".
