In lawsuits trying to keep an entire class of American citizens from voting, the GOP has openly admitted that the reason they want to disenfranchise the Americans is that they don't tend to vote for Republicans. The most anti-American, anti-Constitutional cult ever.
In lawsuits, GOP officials have argued state laws and other rules permitting voting by never-resided citizens violate state constitutions. They also have claimed in court filings that these U.S. citizens are disproportionately registered as non-Republican voters and allowing them to cast ballots hurts GOP chances of winning elections.
