Because they can announce the change right before the election and even if its blatantly illegal it can't be stopped.

It can be challenged and shot down in court but that will only happen long after the illegal election is over.

This gives the Republicans in R dominated states freedom to eliminate anyone they want from an election.

I won't be surprised to see English fluency tests appearing shortly before the 2014 election. What's the definition of "flagitious"?
