Collecting recent decisions in which Republicans argued that restrictions on voting are necessary to prevent fraud.

"the State (Texas) did not provide any actual examples of voter fraud"

"it is a speculative and 'generalized grievance' in this case"

"Plaintiffs have not introduced even an ounce of evidence supporting the assertion that . . . use of mail ballots will inundate the election with fraud."

Are you seeing a theme?

Here's one from a Trump judge last night:

"pieced together a sequence of uncertain assumptions"

Part of the issue, at least isnofar as responses on Twitter, seems to be that Republicans have no actual idea how the mechanics of voting, particularly counting votes, works.

They act like states have no fraud protections at all.

And what works for Trump on the campaign trail doesn't work when you get in front of a judge.

The judge is gonna want some evidence that there's an actual problem. And Republicans, in litigation all across the country, have failed to point to that evidence.
