Their own people like and depend on mail-in voting- you know, the ones who prefer to live in the middle of nowhere to make sure their neightbors are the „right sort,“ have worked blue-collar jobs for low pay all their lives, haven’t been able to afford decent health insurance (or think it’s „unmanly“ to see doctors regularly) and as a consequence have limited mobility and social interaction, those types really like mail-in voting. this disenfranching is going to be their first truly equal oopportunity initiative.

Republicans DEMAND voter ID but they’re also adamantly opposed to the democrats pathway to getting there, free voter IDs
H.R.4852 – IDs for an Inclusive Democracy Act would fulfill the ID requirement without disenfranchising people due to any cost.
With their refusal it’s 100% clear the purpose of the SANE act is to disenfranchise, and when it does so they’ll point to the reduced turn out as “proof” of their hypothesis.
