Thanks for making my point. Namely, the weird belief voter fraud only happens in Dem controlled states. See how seamlessly it fits in to the weird trumpian narrative that only Dems benefit from voter fraud. Voter fraud being virtually non-existent in the US.
To which the rubes reply, "but a lot of people are concerned about it according to polls." To which I reply, "that's because Repubs keep doing things to stop a problem that doesn't exist, creating the false impression it does............BECAUSE THAT'S THE GOAL."
Why? Cuz it gives them cover to pass suppressive voter laws.
Conservative groups are pushing to clean voter rolls. Others see an effort to sow election distrust

Conservative groups are systematically attempting to challenge the legitimacy of large numbers of voter registrations across the country before the presidential election.
The strategy is part of a wider effort raising questions about the integrity of this year's election as former President Donald Trump repeatedly claims without evidence that his opponents are trying to cheat.
The National Voter Registration Act already requires states to take steps to maintain accurate and current voter registration lists. Just because someone finds an outdated registration doesn't mean election officials are unaware of it, Cohen said.
"Voter registration lists are living, breathing databases," she said. "That's part of the challenge, because people move and die and change their names and just exist every single day, and when you get a list, you're purchasing a moment in time. Registration activities and voter registration list maintenance activities are happening on an ongoing basis."
