Yesterday was "Sine Die," the last day of the Legislative Session, and the last chance for a bill to pass in 2021. Although Republicans in the Legislature had already passed many of their most controversial bills – including SB 202, their anti-democratic effort to suppress the vote – Sine Die was still a long and eventful day.

The assault on voting rights took a dangerous leap forward this week. On Thursday afternoon, the House passed SB 202, the 98-page bill that Republicans sprung on House Democrats last week, which would provide the state with new powers over local election officials and place limits on absentee voting and runoff elections, among many other restrictions.
