voter suppression measures are being struck down, uniformly, in the courts as people go to the polls.
it will be something pretty close to a fair election.

“When you strike (at) a king you must kill him.”.

Likewise, if you try to suppress the vote and fail, the blowback might be worse than not doing anything at all. A lot of minority voters are pizzed that the republics did this.
