Nah, time to end Republicans and put the GOP on the chopping block for evermore.I bet they work extra hard to be mean and hateful. They must have meetings where they mull how to be so, i.e., creeps.
First they will disenfranchise POCs, then people of the “wrong” religion. When they get to repealing the 19th Amendment they can give up the pretense of having elections altogether.
It’s absolutely no secret by now that the Republicans intend to win by any means they can, fair or foul. What’s gradually emerging, however, is how much they prefer the foul.
But before the political fighting gets too ugly, lawmakers really ought to look at the evidence. Numerous studies have arrived at the same conclusion: Voting by mail doesn’t provide any clear partisan advantage. In fact, as states have expanded their use of mailed ballots over the last decade — including five states that conduct all-mail elections by default — both parties have enjoyed a small but equal increase in turnout.
In short: voting by mail is more convenient for some voters but more difficult for others, and these conflicting factors appear to cancel each other out, dampening any partisan advantage. Moreover, the vast majority of nonvoters don’t participate not because it’s too inconvenient to vote, but because voting isn’t a habit for them. Maybe they don’t care about politics, maybe they don’t think their vote matters, maybe they don’t like any of the candidates, or maybe it’s some combination of all of the above. But the bottom line is that these voters’ decision to vote depends more on whether somebody around them can motivate them to vote, not whether they are able to vote by mail or in person.
… and don’t talk about Free and Fair elections until the wait times in rural areas is the same as the suburbs. If thats not on the todo list then its BS.

If you can’t beat them then either prevent them from getting into the game, or keep them at the bottom of the hill playing field.

They have everything totally backward, its time for the rule of law again.
