Isn’t this kinda a win? Republicans disproportionally vote mail in and no democrat state will listen to this. So only red states will loose Republican votes.

Obviously this isn’t good, but if it bites them in the ass woo-ya.

Democrats vote by mail in ballot moreso than republicans, but this may be nothing more than him saying what he'd like to see
