According to conservative thinkery, the new Georgia laws aren't all that bad, and that Colorado's election laws are just the worst! And yet a Democrat polls 63% of the vote in the Fort Collins mayor's race.

Republicans may want to adjust their strategy for 2022. Simply rigging the system and trying to suppress unfriendly votes doesn't appear to be sufficient. Maybe come up with actual policies and programs that will attract more voters? Naaaaaah!
