Sure it does. Republicans use gerrymandering to maintain control and then roll out voter suppression programs under the guise of real id or random re-registration or whatever. Statistically voter fraud is a non issue. Republicans know that their base is dwindling and in the long term the US will become more democratic. As people live closer together and see the impact of policies on other humans they tend to become more sympathetic and democratic. Bush won the Presidency because of the supreme court split based on politics. Trump lost the popular vote. This is why Republicans fought tooth and nail to ensure that Obama couldn't appoint a supreme court justice. They want to maintain a conservative judiciary. Controlling the court, they can limit liberal interpretations of the law. The second amendment reinterpretation hinged on a fucking comma. There shrinking base is is why they defund education and court the evangelical vote. It's why they argue for faith based charities instead of government support. It aligns with the rich paying less taxes and it is the rich who fund this nonsense.
