2. I don't want to sound cynical, but ... it really seems like the danger of losing

1000's of their voters, at a much higher % vs. the opposition ... is starting to crystalize in the minds of many GOP leaders.

Less than 50K in 3 states (WI, AZ, GA) votes decided the election for Biden. And look how few votes Ossoff and Warnock won by.

Losing even 100K more GOP voters in excess of Democratic voters across the country could hurt their ability to get power back in '22 and '24, and they know it.

Been hearing a lot about surges in vaccinations in a lot of these states (which is of course great news), but not all Democrats were vaccinated before either. Good chance a decent % of these vaccine surges are being driven by Democrats getting off their behinds and getting it, whereas the MOST loyal GOP voters are still resisting.
