It is the Democrats who consistently oppose measures designed to increase election integrity.
As Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts notes in his introduction, the primary question addressed by Lucas’s book, The Myth of Voter Suppression. The Left's Assualt on Clean Elections is this: “[W]hy does the Democratic Party oppose free, fair, and credible elections?” The short answer the author provides is that Democrats are much better at cheating and rigging elections than Republicans. Tammany Hall, the Chicago Daley machine, and Missouri’s Pendergast organization provide three historical examples. That’s not to say Republicans never engage in electoral shenanigans, of which cases Lucas provides several examples. But it is Democrats who consistently oppose measures designed to increase election integrity -- measures that even a former Democratic president, Jimmy Carter, advocated in 2005 when serving on a bipartisan commission co-chaired by former GOP Secretary of State James Baker.
Two major recommendations of that commission were voter IDs and restrictions on mail-in voting, the latter being a process riddled with invitations to fraud, especially when corrupt voter rolls include dead persons, duplications, and folks who’ve moved elsewhere. Opportunities for fraud are multiplied when, as in California, ballot harvesting is permitted. Under this execrable practice (also known as vote trafficking) almost anyone can take custody of and deliver mail-in ballots to a mail box or voting receptacle -- a “chain of custody” nightmare that would have made Mayor Daley’s day in 1960.
By contrast, the top Democrat priority in 2021, HR-1 (mendaciously labeled a “voting rights” bill) would have eliminated most state voter ID laws, expanded ballot harvesting, mandated Election Day voter registration, and required no-excuse absentee voting in all states. Ironically, in 1977, first-term Delaware Senator Joe Biden opposed Election Day voter registration because it “could lead to a serious increase in voter fraud.”

If the Department of Deep State controls elections then we are sunk as a free country.
The plan was to steal the election then make the dictatorship permanent. Two RAT senators refused to play along. The current raids and harassments by the Federal Gestapo are desperation measures. They crossed the Rubicon into pure evil terrority and now fear true justice is coming to get them.
And any effort to increase election integrity is called ‘voter suppression’ -without explanation- and the liberal media goes with it.
For example:
Media interviewing the next GOP: “Why are you trying to suppress black votes”
And just how is all that going to stand up at the US Supreme Court? Voting laws are up to the states, not the federal congress.
Let them try that nonsense with DeSantis. They'll not get anywhere with it and get totally beaten down with the reply.
Great idea!
Another main factor to Demorats cheating on elections is the Unions, they know how it’s done.
