Except we've seen this before. States purge roles, judge orders them to restore it, oopsie we can't do that before an election, judge permits it to continue until after the election. We've seen this with voter roll purges, gerrymandering, etc. Surprisingly it only seems like one party does this, the party that supposedly supports democracy.

It's not "pushing policy" if the policy has a popular mandate.
Compare the respective numbers of Democratic and Republican presidents in your lifetime who attained the office while losing the popular vote.
Popular mandate is surely 65% as the bare minimum. 51% is not a mandate, it just shows they hate you slightly less than the other guy.
Does one of them not supposedly support democracy?
