This accomplishes two goals for the GOP:
1. They have convinced their voters that illegal voting is a huge problem (it isn't) and will crack down by reducing polling places in blue cities and curtailing voting by mail. Voter suppression, big lies, and gerrymandering work well for the GOP.
2. The GOP will insist that liberal activist judges are the real problem in courts (they have been saying this for decades). They will continue the drive toward authoritarian judges and courts. It works in Russia, China, and other mafia states.
Kinda weird or just plain dumb because Kernodle was a Trump appointment. I'm betting that idiot Screwy Louie figured a "Trump Judge" would rule for him despite the fact that numerous "Trump Judges" and justices have uniformly rejected every suit, along with their non-Trump conservative, and liberal colleagues.
All that means is that it didn't work this time. Ask Al Gore.
Next time, in a close election, it can work. Remember that Biden/Harris barely won the electoral college by raw votes.
My tin foil hat self believes that they cheated in other states like Florida, North Carolina, and Texas and assumed they would win. Imagine their surprise when they lost Arizona and Georgia. Why else would they be screaming about this so much? They always accuse the other side of what they are actually doing.
It is an unfortunate human failing that a full pocketbook often groans more loudly than an empty stomach.
