But the problem does not really exist and is a smokescreen for rules, regulations, and practices that help Republicans win elections. Earlier this week, 12 of the state chairs for the right-wing State Freedom Caucus Network sent a letter to congressional leaders pushing for passage of the "Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act."
