So why don't they?

I do not know
Why do you not have universal health care?
Why do you not have common sense gun laws?
Why do you not leave the middle east?
Why is the current situation at the border not as bad as under Trump?
Why do you keep electing out of touch seniors as your presidents the last 8 years?
Why do you not have a viable third party as bad as the other two are?

Perhaps the simplest answer is the best. Because they don't want to.

Texas seems to following in Georgia's footsteps, with bills limiting drive through-voting and limit early voting hours. The story is also about a county official in Harris, stating in a leaked video the party needs an "election brigade of volunteers" in Houston as poll watchers. This seems coupled with a new law which pulls back on the ability of election officials to oversee poll watchers and expanding the role of such poll watchers.

As usual these days, the Harris county official argues for this by a plethora of claims of election fraud for which there is, as pretty much always, provided no evidence. Seems just like what democracy needs, a bunch of poll watchers that believes without evidence that widespread fraud is going on at any ballot box where their preferred candidate / party tends to do badly.

Republicans strongly oppose federal intervention in elections and the law backs them up to a degree. It is beyond pointless to discuss because courts will 100% strike down such specific guidelines like copy paste CO law. They may even strike some of the more general ones democrats are trying to get through, but at least those have a chance of getting in.

I go with the bolded. (Although "never win elections again might be a bit too strong.")

Laggy do you recognize that Evangelicals are one of the least likely groups to take that principled stand and are more likely to comprise on everything they would say they want in a leader and party, as long as they are bought off with a few key considerations, as we saw with the Trump presidency?

Hi Coopster,

My answer to the above question is, "No."

That must be the mother of all loaded questions.

Just a reminder, the only issue with the 2020 GA election was that the state voted Dem and the legislature is still republican.

And yet History and Fact proved you wrong.

Trumps most reliable base, despite him being morally repugnant to what Evangelicals purport to stand for has always enjoyed his strongest base of support from them.

Principles "for sale" if you just offer us something we want, we are happy to be blind to the rest!!

See e_d post above and if you click thru to the article the bolded below is why this is fair to compare to Jim Crow....

This is an attempt to create a power structure that allows the minority republicans to lose elections but seize the mechanisms of power and just throw out the votes in largely minority areas with reasons that are not accountable to anyone but themselves.

The entire purpose is to get the black vote back to 3/5 of a white vote or whatever proportion is necessary to keep power.
