That’s because they are a republican state that wants to do so. Democrat states could do this, but then they couldn’t cheat as easily.
To me that’s mostly true, Arizona is the state I can think of that was a Republican state that has allowed Democrats to run the election system and now we see the results.
If you could take Florida’s election laws and people and plop them down in Arizona, that state would be solidly Red right now.
IMO, the Republicans who are out there fighting for better election laws have a rotten inept strategy, they are fighting the machines, the machines are not the issue, Florida has shown that, it’s the people and laws that are the issue.
If Arizona got rid of the machines tomorrow the outcome of the elections would not change until you make changes to the laws and people running the elections.
If steps are taken to ensure election security and integrity, then how are democrats supposed to ever win elections?
