it sounds to me like they're trying to control all aspects... from who can vote, to who counts to the votes, to how to handle those democrats that do get elected - IOW, control how hearings, etc, are handled. If they can't rig the election via the SAVE Act or the SCOTUS's Jim Crow ruling, then they'll start trying to control the administration side to ensure that laws, bills, etc., that the democrats want don't come anywhere near to having a hearing. It sounds to me like they're just trying to cover ALL the angles. And that includes ICE intimidation at voting polls.
