Republicans know — and many of them, including Trump on multiple occasions — that “we the people of the United States” DO NOT WANT THEM.
They have admitted that the reason they don’t want mail in ballots, or anything that makes voting easier, is because increased turnout reduces their chances of winning. As Trump, and several other Republicans, have admitted, they know that voting by mail would mean no Republican could be elected president ever again.
This is why they try to suppress the vote. They used to deny they are doing it and try to hide it, but now they are doing it brazenly, out in the open. Trump says he could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot someone and not lose a vote; well, he is standing in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shooting our democracy and doesn’t care about losing votes because he wants to make voting too difficult for anyone to do it.
