Fraud isn't the issue for Retrumplicans. The word fraud has a different meaning entirely for them. Black & Brown people voting for them is fraud. When they say Trumpf won by a landslide they mean if you remove all the people we consider illegitimate. This is why they only filed suits aimed at blue cities in States they contested. It's why after all the suits they doubled down with hundreds of new laws and regulations in States they control aimmed at these very same voter groups. Democracy itself in their view is the problem. They want to turn the clock back to when only white males with property had the vote.

It's hard for me to comment on Republicans at this point, especially at this point. They heard Trump and thought, wow, this is phenomenal. I heard Trump and thought what an amoral festering sh*t pile. They are determined to invoke minority rule at any expense and this includes using the type of voter suppression that you describe clearly.
