Republicans: democratic elections are unacceptable
By 
Trump may not have been able to steal the election, but his party will respond to his defeat by making it harder to vote wherever they can:
Republican legislators across the country are preparing a slew of new voting restrictions in the wake of former President Donald Trump’s defeat.
Georgia will be the focal point of the GOP push to change state election laws, after Democrats narrowly took both Senate seats there and President Joe Biden carried the state by an even smaller margin. But state Republicans in deep-red states and battlegrounds alike are citing Trump’s meritless claims of voter fraud in 2020 — and the declining trust in election integrity Trump helped drive — as an excuse to tighten access to the polls.
Some Republican officials have been blunt about their motivations: They don’t believe they can win unless the rules change. “They don’t have to change all of them, but they’ve got to change the major parts of them so that we at least have a shot at winning,” Alice O’Lenick, a Republican on the Gwinnett County, Ga., board of elections in suburban Atlanta, told the Gwinnett Daily Post last week. She has since resisted calls to resign.
Merely trying to stop people from voting ex ante rather than throwing out their votes ex post will be coded in many media quarters as the “moderate” position.
