The key word here is 'acting'.
And, at the same time, ignoring all evidence to the contrary, resulting in the recent bloodbaths at the polls. I'm fine with them shooting themselves in the foot in their refusal to approach electoral politics like grownups.
Voter intimidation only works if you know who to intimidate, and clearly, they do not. It's why they stopped with the crazy overt gerrymandering.
The recent bloodbaths at the polls are happening without voter intimidation, hence, they're going to start employing it.
Why do you think Tulsi Gabbard just raided Georgia? They want a list of the people they need to intimidate.
I don't follow. Their entire campaign of aggression has been against Democrats and Democratic areas.
It is voter intimidation, and not only did it backfire, it destroyed their own coalition. They're losing by double digits in both red and blue districts, and I don't see how voter intimidation works when both sides have turned on you.
Yes, the Georgia thing looks bad now, just like all the EO's that took weeks and months for the courts to invalidate. Checks and balances are working, they just don't work instantaneously.
