Many state legislatures recently have introduced laws to make it harder for voters to vote, give unelected officials power over election results and generally create doubt and difficulty with free and fair elections.

Many commentators attribute these actions to Republicans attempting to maintain control over government. [https://www.aclu.org/news/civil-liberties/block-the-vote-voter-suppression-in-2020/]
However, there may be an overarching agenda. The goals may be to cripple the voting process and to reduce public trust in elections. Such actions can cripple the foundations of representative democracy: rule of law and free elections.
When this kind of initiative occurs in many states at the same time, it is likely that some financial backers encourage it.
Further, the effects of such actions may produce a climate favoring a tyranny in the United States.
I call on the FBI to investigate the funding sources for these actions to discover whether crimes have been committed and to hold accountable those who commit such crimes.
