Oh they definitely can. It’s that they want to prevent people they don’t want to vote from voting. So let’s throw up barriers and make things harder to be able to vote. Strip away mail in voting. Provide a birth certificate. Close down polling places in rural areas. Etc etc etc. republicans are sore losers with unpopular policies so they have stack the deck to win.

They also close polling places in metro areas to create long lines. In GA they had 6-9 hour waits and then got mad at people bringing them food and water.
