    IMO this is just to test the base and get them used to him stay in the office until he dies then someone from his family takes over or maybe musk himself.

    The goal is a dictatorship and if there will be an election it will be a sham one line putin has.

      I agree it would be a temporary measure. Realistically Republicans only need ~6 more governors on board before they can start talking constitutional amendments, and do away with these pesky restrictions all together.

          That sounds like something someone who’s never heard of gerrymandering or voter suppression would say.

              Not directly, but indirectly. You gerrymander the district-based positions, which allow you to pass legislation enabling you to suppress enough votes to win the statewide elections, too.
