'Risk backlast in their states' , is understated. Both awful governors are down sharply in

[empedocles]

state polls.

' . . . Republican Govs. Ron DeSantis of Florida and Greg Abbott of Texas are enacting policies in their states that are popular with the national conservative base but that risk backlash as the two governors contend with their own reelection bids next year and possible presidential runs in 2024. . .

1. Just rig the votes

And you don't need to worry about what the proles think

[KPN]

2. Ho hum. Doesn't matter -- that's what voter suppression

laws and “rigged election” hysteria are for you silly rabbit.

3. Most voter suppression measures have the potential

to adversely affect voters on the right, too. Such things can be a two-edged sword. That is rarely acknowledged by the right as it implements measures that make it more difficult to vote.

The Republican Party has more than its share of ignorant dolts who may just find themselves on the wrong side of voter suppression efforts.

What Democrats need to do is to help people qualify to vote and actually vote. That will trump those suppression ideas pretty well if we do that effectively.

4. Yup!

Spon on.

6. You nailed it. I always suspected that efforts to revamp voting would impact others, than

their 'intended' audiences (republican legislators)...we'll soon find out, eh? They won't admit the truth then, but it'll be readily seen I suspect in vote tallies, etc.

5. FL mail-in voting started to help elderly GOP voters

We have huge mail in voting here, not only for Dems. We are known to handle mail-in voting in a most excellent way, and the laws passed to mess with it were only to throw meat to the national base and Trump. These laws will very much hurt elderly voters here, which skew Red.
