Republican ideas are so bad, and their policies are so disastrous for Americans, that you can see why they’re terrified of democracy and letting people vote.https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/2020/08/10/wisconsin-sen-ron-johnson-hopes-stimulus-talks-remain-broken-down/3334232001/ …

Funny you should mention Florida. The State Supreme Court just disenfranchised 1.4 million ex-felons. In 2000, the US Supreme Court disenfranchised all the voters whose ballots they forced the state to stop counting. It’s the capital of meaningful disenfranchisement.

It also played a small role in the 2000 presidential election iirc

It doesn’t explain their dominance everywhere but it (and gerrymandering) isn’t a fairytale, or is the idea that they do so much in that regard because they’ve succumbed to the same tale?

Surely it has a role to play in explaining, say, Georgia, or for that matter the post office adventures lately, or the closing of polling places.

Well, Florida's been working overtime to keep millions of voters disenfranchised.

It has. But when you drill down, you also see things like Republican state reps winning very blue districts, through a combination of better fundraising and general apathy (including not bothering to run a candidate against them). I wish disenfranchisement were the sole cause
