They're more likely to try purging voter rolls of Democrats than most anything else. Then there's the intimidation. I live in Trump country so the knuckle dragging MAGAts probably think they have it in the bag.
Not sure how you would even go about achieving that. All they're talking about is requiring ID and deploying ice to intimidate and scare immigrants away from voting locations in democrate districts. So have an ID and don't look like a democrat and you're sweet.
That said there was a lot of shady shit with voting machines in the last US election.
The requiring ID part gets a lot of fine print - that's one of their main tactics.
