It's quite sad you find it humorous that the GOP is making a state more favorable to them by putting in laws that make it harder to vote because they know higher turnout works against them.
Your Lord knows very well what is in your heart. Your soul suffices this day as a reckoner against you. I need no witnesses. You do not listen to your soul, but listen instead to your anger and your rage.
The GOP has been saying that higher voter turnout is detrimental to them since at least the early 80's, Paul Weyrich is a classic example.
Trump expressed the same sentiment back in March of 2020 during a Fox news interview. More voting mean the GOP won't win.
So they all know and why they have no problem (hence the hand-waving of the issue) with certain states enacting laws that make it harder to vote; especially certain demographic they do poorly in.

Let's be honest here, these Georgia voting laws only make it harder for cheaters to cheat. Let's not kid ourselves by saying it suppresses legitimate voters, kay?

"Now many of our Christians have what I call the goo-goo syndrome - good government. They want everybody to vote. I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people, they never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down." -Paul Weyrich

The notion that progressives are afraid of voter ID is just another far-right fantasy. When polled, even on KMC, progressives do not necessarily oppose voter ID, so long as the government provides it for free to every eligible voter.
The Texas Voter Confidence Act, filed by Republican Representative Steve Toth, would authorize the governor, the lieutenant governor, and the speaker of the House—all of whom are Republicans—to select an independent third party to conduct an election audit. The review would focus on the votes cast in Texas' 13 counties with populations over 415,000.
That is especially notable, because there would only be increased scrutiny of the results in areas where Republicans did not win.
When asked why he did not include smaller counties in the election review, Toth replied, "What's the point? I mean, all the small counties are red."
The proposed exercise is not about "election integrity." It is about the Republican effort to characterize election results in "red" areas as inherently valid and election results in "blue" areas as inherently suspect.
