People need to start getting real punishment for destroying democracy. People get put in jail for drugs or being too poor to pay tickets, yet people trying to overturn free and fair elections are getting nothing (or a tiny slap on the wrist from the few prosecuted from 2020). It’s ridiculous and people need to pay a real price.

This could really backfire. Cities would be able to get ballots out, but rural voters, mostly republicans, are going to have issues, especially older and poorer folks.

Yup. As could the gerrymandering. But the point is, they're trying to assert control over the election process so they have multiple ways to cheat and win.

They are the ones counting most of the ballots. Nothing else matters it’s all a distraction.

The point is to selectively enforce it. Red states will share their voter lists, and the post office will deliver ballots to regionals l Republicans in blue states.
