@shallow-blue saidThis is where the battle lines are being drawn, literally on maps:
Here's a more interesting goalpost: how many people have had their vote stolen by Republican sabotage of the franchise in poorer areas? Thousands of individual cases in mail-in voting over years, thousands of voting stations made inaccessible to anyone with five children, two full-time jobs, and no car. Which is the bigger goal?

@shallow-blue saidDemographics are against the Republican Party, and they know it. They’ve been losing ground with a shrinking voter base for decades. Adapting their policies to appeal to a wider voter base doesn’t occur to them. That’s why they have to change the rules for voting, = cheat, to stay in power. They’ve become the party of re-actionaries.
