I guess that's interesting, but in 2018 it had not yet become Republican orthodoxy that any kind of voting other than election day in-person voting was evil and fraudulent.  [/quote]
I think it had. They had been smearing mail in ballots and early voting for quite a while by 2018.[/quote]

Really?  I didn't hear it until 2020, but maybe I missed it.[/quote]

DP here.  This was just one of many complaints about mail-in and provisional ballot counting.  Before March 2020, mail-in voting was only a minor grievance and the Republicans were already trying to discourage and eliminate mail-in voting. They wanted proof that the voter would be out of the state to get a mail-in ballot, etc.  Then the pandemic hit and it became a major political battle.  That's when you heard about it.  Before that, it was more of a page 6 type complaint.  Then in 2020, it became front page news.

Ryan’s comments about a state’s elections process put him in league with some prominent California Republicans who have recently expressed befuddlement — and anger — about the series of GOP incumbents whose defeats came after officials completed the tallies of millions of absentee and provisional ballots.[/quote]
