They know they need voter suppression to win. They will fight the use of voting by mail because it would make it easier to vote.

Days after Trump said making it easier to vote would hurt GOP, here's GA House speaker David Ralston:

“This will be extremely devastating to Republicans and conservatives in Georgia. Every registered voter is going to get one of these. … This will certainly drive up turnout.”
Stacey Abrams should should be the Governor of Georgia. The only reason that she's not is because the system is set up by guys like this to prevent people from voting. https://t.co/fLXIdD9652

We held an election in 1864. We sent ballots to soldiers overseas in 1944. Now Republicans from Trump to McConnell to state legislators, hoping for low turnout, are blocking efforts to enable Americans to vote in 2020. It's a disgrace. The word that comes to mind is unpatriotic.

Trump: "The things they had in there were crazy. They had levels of voting, that if you ever agreed to it you'd never have a Republican elected in this country again." pic.twitter.com/x5HmX6uogo

What’s happening in Wisconsin absolute travesty

State won’t delay April 7 election & GOP legislature refusing to mail ballots to every voter in order to protect right-wing state Supreme Court seat
This is voter suppression on steroids https://t.co/FXNKXEaC3k
This is good one: Trump campaign wants to send no request absentee ballots only to voters 65+. https://t.co/tF4d6SZHCb

Meanwhile, the Wisconsin Republican Party is current in court trying to make it harder for people to vote and ensure that ballots that are delayed in the mail do not count. https://t.co/ldbijRtRsA
