Because they are not. They do make harder to cheat and the Democrats don't want that.

It's just reactionary. I actually had a dude ask to sign a petition to overturn the new GA law, and so I engaged him and just asked what was in it. Not actually knowing (originally he just said it's racist etc etc) I suggested, we had smart phones, lets actually look it up. So we did, and together went through the law, and step by step, you could hear the gears in this guy's head grind because he agreed with basically all of it, and yeah, I don't like some of it either (shortening mail in voting sucks but I also concede it helps the workers get all the ballots together earlier) but nothing is perfect. If it's 60% good, it stays. This signature getter guy left saying he'd have to think about it. I'll take that as a win.

Lt Col John Tringali - And that is it in a nutshell - almost everything is reactionary, and poorly researched. If a talking head for whatever echo chamber people belong to, the masses take it as gospel truth. Wage Gap - after reading the Consad Report, and other economic specialists, turns out to be a myth. The original DOL report did not factor in hours worked, overtime, Gaps in employment due to children, revenue driven professions, and a host of other factors.
