Apparently they thought 30+ years of the 1982 Consent Pact that prevented GOP from challenging voter fraud has made the party soft and unwilling to do anything even after expiring.

How many people are even aware of this?

That's 1 more as of right now (ME)

The 2020 presidential election will be the first presidential election since 1980 in which the Republican Party will be able to deploy "ballot security operations". In 2019 Justin R. Clark, an official in Trump's re-election campaign, was recorded telling Republican lawyers that the expiration of the consent decree was a "huge, huge, huge, huge deal" for the campaign's election day operations in Wisconsin.

The GOP has been playing a 30 year long game! Agree to the consent decree, get Dems to let down their guard. Hit them with GEOTUS after it ends!

The GOP has been weak and ineffectual. If it wasn't for Trump they would have surrendered by now. If Trump is gone then we may as well change the party logo to the french flag.

More like the GOP has been bought and paid for cucks since the 80's. You do realize they hate Trump, right?

Why would they ever make a pact like that? Just stupid. Prevented from challenging voter fraud? That leaves them wide open to be victims of voter fraud.

I think it was because the republicans had gotten caught committing voter fraud, and in order to let it go, the RNC had to concede the ability to challenge fraud in minority communities.
