If this passes judicial scrutiny then would it be much of a reach to have a law prohibiting citizens from voting for certain ballot propositions and candidates?

  You are basically making a writing prompt for a very weird America that I can’t actually imagine. My imagination may be fried from current and past America. I do know it’s scary. I just don’t know what to do.

    > do know it’s scary. I just don’t know what to do. Not a historian, but I imagine it would be worthwhile to create social-networks of trusted opposition, secure ways to communicate, and publishing outlets for information in advance, rather than wishing they were there once there's the Gestapo and networks of informants. Even in not-so-dark times, it'll be helpful when companies (i.e. Instagram, today) are shadow-banning content (i.e. abortion resources) in order to get favorable treatment from a corrupt executive branch. You'll have some other network to find information from.

    It's our America - it's here, it passed, 7 million people live under that law. The judicial scrutiny part may or not repeal the law after years of litigation at great personal cost.

    Consider attending some local political meetups. You'll find lots of people fervently in favor of this sort of thing.
