is reserved for enthusiastic R voters. Any advantage given to their opposition is preemptively countered. They surely can’t have meaningful waves of democratic-enthused people at polls.

Speaking of polls. Have you considered the preponderance of multi-front attacks on successful application of mail-in voting? It, of course widely popular for legal balloting. Why would any patriot of free elections want enthused voters juggling the onerous mechanisms of in-person voting?

Do these saboteurs of democracy want deliberate voters sitting in their living rooms safely pondering the weight of their ballot. No. They want Americans turned away at polling lines, intimidated and thwarted in their American franchise with the lie of voter fraud and other rationalizations.

If voting by mail works as well as it does without question-why are the R traitors intent on destroying it. We know why.
