Precisely. The purpose of this is to enslave the countryside to the big cities.
I think there is a more nefarious purpose. Democrats are happy to commit voter fraud. Think of all the fraudulent votes they can conjure up. Imagine the left coast scurrying around those two extra hours after the South and Central states have finished voting. With this extra motivation democrat states feel they can increase voter turnout and maybe swing elections by padding the vote. Even if these state laws don’t affect the electoral college, democrats and their media can scream and cry about the winning popular vote. They can use this to shape public opinion and move other states to pass such laws. Hell, maybe even a good law suit or two.
Or am I missing something here?
