republicans don t know how to block your vote. if you live in california, where republicans in the legislature cannot pass any laws to restrict your votes all of your state s electoral votes are going to go to the democrat in the next presidential election. we know that now. but the electoral college will be able to deny victory to the democratic candidate if the republican plan to block votes in georgia and texas and arizona and other states is successful, because california voters might get their wish in the presidential election and they did get their wish in the presidential election last time only because georgia voters and arizona voters, pennsylvania voters, and others, voted for joe biden. but if the republican legislatures in georgia and arizona and other states are able to rig the next election,
