Republicans are so stupid they do not realise that mail-in voting actually benefits them...

"..The Heritage Foundation has promoted false claims of
electoral fraud.
Hans von Spakovsky, who heads the Heritage Foundation's Election Law Reform Initiative, has played an influential role in elevating alarmism about voter fraud in the Republican Party, despite offering no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
Following the
2020 presidential election, in which President
Donald Trump made baseless claims of fraud after he was defeated for reelection, the Heritage Foundation launched a campaign in support of
Republican efforts to make state voting laws more restrictive.
In March 2021,
The New York Times reported that the Heritage Foundation's political arm,
Heritage Action, planned to spend $24 million over two years across eight key states to support efforts to restrict voting, in coordination with the
Republican Party and allied conservative outside groups, including the
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America,
American Legislative Exchange Council, and
State Policy Network. Almost two dozen election bills introduced by Republican state legislators in early 2021 were based on a Heritage letter and report.
Heritage also mobilized in opposition to
H.R. 1./S. 1, a Democratic bill to establish uniform nationwide voting standards, including expanded
early and
postal voting,
automatic and same-day voter registration, campaign finance law reforms, and prohibiting
partisan redistricting.
In May 2021, Heritage Action spent $750,000 on television ads in
Arizona to
promote the false claim that "Democrats...want to register illegal aliens" to vote, even though the Democrats' legislation creates safeguards to ensure that ineligible people cannot register. In April 2021, Heritage Action boasted to its private donors that it had successfully crafted the election reform bills that Republican state legislators introduced in
Georgia and other states.
The New York Times reported in September 2024 that "the notion that [noncitizens] will flood the polls—and vote overwhelmingly for Democrats—is animating a sprawling network of Republicans who mobilized around" Trump after he claimed the 2020 election was rigged, and "the false theories about widespread noncitizen voting could be used to dispute the outcome again." In summer 2024, the Heritage
Oversight Project produced videos for distribution on social media and conservative media outlets that made false or misleading claims about the extent of noncitizen voting registrations. In one video that was sent viral by an
Elon Musk repost, Heritage falsely claimed that 14% of noncitizens in Georgia were registered, concluding, "the integrity of the 2024 election is in great jeopardy." Heritage based their findings on an extrapolation of hidden camera interview responses from seven residents in a
Norcross, Georgia apartment complex. State investigators found the seven people had never registered.
Heritage maintains an election fraud database that in 2024 showed just 68 documented instances of noncitizen voting since the 1980s, and just 10 of those were in the country illegally. When Heritage president Kevin Roberts was presented in June 2024 with data from the Heritage database indicating there were only 1,513 total instances of voter fraud in the United States since 1982, he responded that fraud is "very hard to document, and the
Democrat party is very good at fraud." When asked if Heritage would accept the results of the 2024 presidential election regardless of who wins, Roberts replied, "yes, if there isn't massive fraud like there was in 2020." Despite the persistence of an
election denial movement, no evidence of material election fraud in 2020 was found.
