ATLANTA (AP) — Republicans plan to move quickly on efforts to overhaul the country’s voting procedures, seeing an opportunity with control of the White House and both chambers of Congress to push through long-sought changes that include voter ID and credentialing. Citizenship requirements.

They say the measures are necessary to restore public confidence in elections, a loss of confidence that Democrats say was fueled by false claims from President-elect Donald Trump and his allies about widespread fraud in the 2020 election. In the new year, Republicans will be under pressure to deal with Trump’s desire to change the way elections are run in the US, something he continues to support despite his victory in November.
