Guys, it was never really about voter fraud. They are now trying to raise the voting age to 25! Like, this is all math for them. They know like 1 in 5 real people support them (mainly people over 60), so they need to make sure only 3 in 10 people get a chance to vote and that those people are their people, suppress suppress and suppress the vote.
