"But in reality, the GOP knows they are better off with less people voting. - Lapsody"

Actually it is very true. It is why Republicans are trying to enact strict voter laws despite the fact that vote fraud is almost non-existent and easily caught by current laws. Just because you want to ignore all of those facts doesn't make them disappear. It just makes you willfully ignorant.

<snip>“Traditionally it’s always been Republicans suppressing votes in places,</b?” Clark, the Trump campaign adviser and legal counsel, was taped saying at a closed-door meeting of the Republican National Lawyers Association chapter in Wisconsin last year...


...But Trump himself has already made clear what this is really about. “The things they had in there were crazy,” Trump said this week of Democratic voting proposals. “They had things, levels of voting that if you’d ever agreed to it, you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again.”

Trump’s candor seemed to invite lower-level Republicans to speak openly about how voter suppression was necessary to the party’s survival. “This will be extremely devastating to Republicans and conservatives,” Georgia State House Speaker David Ralston said this week, citing proposals that will “certainly drive up turnout.”

Those pitches, for which Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden has expressed support, include the possibilities of remote voting and drive-through voting—ideas that could, indeed, result in larger voter turnout. “This is about making sure that we're able to conduct our democracy while we're dealing with a pandemic,” Biden said this week. “We can do both.” But Republicans have spent years attempting to make it harder, not easier to vote—especially for the minorities and younger Americans who tend to lean Democratic.
