Republicans believe that they should be in power and any illegal or immoral action to make that belief real (the end justifies the means). If they can prevent people that are going to vote “wrong” from voting, they will increase their chance of winning. And winning is more important than abiding by any sort of moral compass.
March, if that helps. Scream, cry, curse. Write blog posts about how Trump is destroying this country. Whatever gets you through the next two years. But, whatever you do, on November 3, 2020, VOTE!
