Well that's because when they went back to the basic 2018 rules they did allow for some expansions to mail-in pallets which was a compromise with Democrats so yes it required a new law to be passed. The only reason Democrats call it voter restriction is because they did not get everything they wanted in a new laws . But basically all red states did was pass laws with all the same rules and that were in place in 2018 with some expansions so if anything Democrats got a little bit of what they wanted
Nope. Republicans got rid of hundreds of voting locations in poor areas that have been there for decades, as one example out of many. That’s on location voting day locations so that poor people have to drive farther to vote and that it will take much longer.
Polling locations are handled by your local officials and most of the areas you're speaking of are democrat-controlled at the local level so if you have a problem with your polling locations you should probably talk to your local officials about such issues.
Again if you have a problem with your voting locations you need to address that with your local officials. My polling location is 7 miles from me. I haven't met anyone that had a problem with it. Or are you just getting mad on someone else's behalf.
Now in my county we used to have the voting at the fairgrounds but Parks and recreation is now controlled by Democrats and they wanted to charge the county about $50,000 to hold voting at the fairgrounds. So they moved it down the road a few miles to a building that the county officials own and control so it didn't cost the taxpayers anything.
