GOPers usually wins. Supreme Court Justice Roberts and his fellow GOPers are the reason for this. Vote GOP congresscritters out, vote the GOP governors out alongwith with the state GOP legislators. As GOPers and their base always quote "time to take America back".

Cutting early voting hours and number of days (including golden week), limiting the locations, or making the locations difficult to access. Thanks, John Hustad, one of the FINE Republicans who hopes to be Ohio's next governor.
