But when you're a senior writer at a publication strongly opposed to any federal voting rights legislation during a period with the worst vote suppression since the Johnson administration, it sure is a useful strawman!

In addition to being bad on its face, it doesn't work on its own terms. Republicans want to make it easy for voters in white suburbs and rural areas to vote and very hard for voters in urban areas to vote, in both cases irrespective of their political knowledge
The obvious analogy is to arbitrary abortion restrictions that do nothing to ensure that women will have abortions for the "right" reasons, but just severely limit access to women with fewer resources or unfavorable geographic locations. It's all a shell game.
Yup, the fact that purported Republican concerns about the security of voting by mail vanish when it's used by Republican constituencies (like older voters or the military) is more dispositive evidence of their bad faith
