They "didn't get the memo" and went full speed ahead (although from what the OP article noted, the law had passed back in 2021 and they had already started their application purges for 2022 and 2023). Of course they *could* reverse course if they wanted (via legislation) but they are too brainwashed to move that juggernaut around.

The main reason they keep prevailing while smashing our voters, is that our voters still aren't turning out as much as they could. They are not living, breathing, or eating "politics" and are just trying to work, get a roof over their heads, and put food on the table and unfortunately, "voting" seems ancillary to doing that (and in many cases, is made too inconvenient for them to do so with their schedules).

The bellweather turnout for Democrats should be what was seen for 2008 (which happened after the 2006 Democratic takeover of the House for the first time since 1994).
