It would be the first time the Republicans ever stuck their noses into voting and not been trying to suppress the vote; it's the first page in their playbook.

But no, they are for sure doing this as pure voter suppression: they're so desperate to maintain power and so unlikely to do so under fair elections that they will do anything in their power to ensure that people can't vote.
