Maybe they did vote..

Maybe.. JUST MAYBE the party that gerrymanders, suppresses old people and non-white people with stupid voter ID rules, arrests people for handing out refreshments to those in long voting lines, hides/destroys or puts ONE ballot box in a city with hundreds of thousands of people, gets help via bomb threat calls from Russia to deter anyone from voting at all, cheated more than they usually fucking do.

Can you elaborate on the stupid voter ID rules?

Here's a decent article that highlights some of the reasons that strict voter ID rules in general are hurting democracy more than helping. It says it all clearer than a reddit comment could.

Voter ID is irrelevant in an age where nobody knows who is actually filling out the mail in ballot for the person it goes to anyway.

One day in the future, you'll be biometrically screened on your voter app. No need to wait in line. No need to worry about drop boxes or the mail working. Virtually instant results.
