But there is still plenty of reason to be concerned about the Trump-led GOP. 

First off there is the fact that in many swing states any claim of election fraud can send the selection of electors to GOP legislatures. 
Then there is the continuing skulduggery of new voting laws designed to restrict mail in ballots and polling sites. Tens of millions believe
Trump's claim the election was stolen and they are working day and night to secure superminority control of all three branches of government. 

Where you say restrict others may say improve.  It's no secret one side heavily benefits from having relaxed voting laws.  It has nothing to do with being "Trump led".  Once you get past the flag waving nut jobs in Alabama, many conservatives would feel the same way regardless of who's primary on the ticket.  We shouldn't be making it easy for non citizens to vote in our elections.  

In Dallas you can get away with showing a utility bill as identification to vote.  That's just nonsense.  Over 2 million illegal immigrants crossed the border in 2021...numbers like that swing elections.  

I'm not going to get into voter fraud because that's one of those topics where no matter what side of the fence someone is on, they are not changing their mind.
