Sending goons to polling places only works at the margins. You might dissuade a small percentage of voters but you'll probably encourage others. Shaving 1-3% works in a close election but not when you're already hugely unpopular. Plus, I don't think the regime can pull this off logistically.

There are (last I saw) around 200,000 polling places in the US. Even if only 10% of them really matter, that's still a massive logistical operation and each polling place will require multiple goons for coverage.

I suppose the silver lining is that a competent GOP governor could have done a lot of damage by peeling off a couple of DINOs in the Senate, but Youngkin wasn't enough of a politician to do that before the Dems retook the HoD and primaried Petersen, et al.
