The simple answer is that HR1 is what they already wanted before 2020 & they believe it helps them permanently vs any R, whereas ECA reform only helps them against a repeat of what Trump did in 2020, which only happens if you get Trump again, it's close again, & he loses again.https://twitter.com/allahpundit/status/1403875253001072640 …

i think desantis was being careful with his words there so as not to be seen as full-throatedly endorsing trump's plan to pressure state legislatures. but he was winking at the idea of states overturning their results on a fraud pretext, probably at trump's behest

Definitely a whiff of pandering there. But that's very different from evidence that DeSantis himself would have done anything on the order of what Trump did, & it's misleading to conflate things said two days after the election with what went on after all the lawsuits flopped.

DeSantis was clearly dog-whistling to the conspiracy theories, though. Like how Josh Hawley talked about "violations of the law" rather than "voter fraud" per se.

I think there's a strong argument to be made that DeSantis was just saying this for political reasons, & wouldn't actually support overturning an election in the future were he the candidate. But I think
@allahpundit's characterization of DeSantis' statement is accurate.
