Why the Republicans' 2020 strategy is to keep as many people as possible from voting

[Zorro]

What does it say about a political party when its chief strategy is to prevent as many people as possible from voting — and its leader admits as much?

That is where Republicans find themselves heading into the 2020 election.

For the latest, breathtaking example of this pathology, look at Iowa. On June 2, Iowa held a highly successful primary, with record turnout — and Republicans in the state legislature immediately initiated action to ensure the success is not repeated in the fall.

Yes, not repeated. For many Republicans, a high-turnout, no-chaos election is a result to be avoided at all costs.

1. In other words, the only way for Repubs to win is to cheat!

2. Obviously they feel the people prevented from voting would vote for the Dems. They NEVER do

anything that might be bad for THEM! I'm still having a problem with their objection to mail in voting though. Why do they think their voters wouldn't want to vote by mail? Many of them are older & shouldn't be exposed to crowds due to the virus.

3. Democrats running for office are on to this blatant stunt.....

They are making sure voters know that the only way Republicans can win is if they PREVENT people from voting.

Democrats need to shame Republicans for this position.
