be too happy that they have to resort to those tactics to win. It's got to bug them that they can't win fair and square and that they have to cheat. They got to be worried that the Dems will institute measures to make it more and more difficult for the Repugs to employ voter suppression. Then they're really in trouble.

they are NOT AT ALL about how.

Dems have failed for years to counter repug tactics successfully.

TIME MAGAZINE: I’ve Worked in Republican Politics. The Party’s Voter Suppression in the Midterms Has Been a Disgrace

That an estimated 113 million people—an increase of 30 million voters from the 2014 midterms—still turned out, despite this mess, demonstrated that Americans want to do their part. In Florida, citizens even expanded the number of people who can participate by reinstating the right to vote to 1.4 million former felons. This devotion deserves a fair process.

One thing the Democratic Party intends and will be able to accomplish in many states, and perhaps even nationally, before 2020 is automatic voter registration.
