“After Democratic voters and big donors ruin a state like California, you would think it wise to stop them from doing it to another great state like Florida,” she wrote on Twitter. “Brainwashed people that move from CA and NY really need a cooling off period.”

Greene took issue with Democrats moving from blue states to red states and suggested they need a “cooling off” period before being allowed to vote.

In battleground states and beyond, Republicans are taking hold of the once-overlooked machinery of elections. While the effort is incomplete and uneven, outside experts on democracy and Democrats are sounding alarms, warning that the United States is witnessing a “slow-motion insurrection” with a better chance of success than Trump’s failed power grab last year. 

They point to a mounting list of evidence: Several candidates who deny Trump’s loss are running for offices that could have a key role in the election of the next president in 2024.
