Don't give it to them freely. If we give in, they can just move on to the next thing. Make even minor law changes a pain for them. Fight every battle so that they cannot spend as much time eroding voting rights.
Elections are run at the state level, even ones for federal office. Make sure every local office is filled with a progressive that will stand up for it. Some states have elections next year (before midterms) for offices that are going to matter for exactly that
I don't think any supreme court justices are in this thread, and they are the ones that mostly have a say.
Eroding voting rights will be done on a federal level.
I'm not saying you are wrong, we should definitely protest, resist, and vote in local elections, but we don't really get a say now that the country decided to give the reigns to fascists. I don't think people realize how hard this will be to undo. These SC justices are going to be there for a very long time.
