Read some discussions about this since red wave fizzled. Repubs, rank and file understand their hurdle to winning blue states..
The problem as they see it: Need to outlaw generous registration options and mailing ballots to all registered (as done in California) to turn state red but need state to be controlled by repubs to do so..so caught in trap
Whats interesting is they dont even pretend they think "illegal voters" are voting in these blue states.. On freeperville someone called them "disorganized voters" .. They dont want them voting
What they want..super tight registration process. No mail in ballots.. And counting ballots only on election day.
Weird to see Americans invested in blocking eligible adults from voting. They recognize that part of Florida going red is by keeping it harder to reg and vote

(6,401 posts)Even after draconian restrictions, it will still catch up to them. When you have a generation of future voters who grow up with "active shooter drills" in schools, parents struggling to meet ends, a voter base whose mortality is in question (while passing laws to deny them health coverage), etc. Then it becomes clear, they are destroying themselves for short term gains.

(I turned 18 in 1972, when the voting age was lowered to 18. I was able to cast my first vote against that crook Nixon.)
