They are panicked about the midterms, and aren’t willing to kill the filibuster to pass the SAVE act because they know it will disenfranchise as many, if not more of their voters than Dem voters.
50+ republicans have read the tea leaves and are retiring from congress. Many (Tillis for example) no longer GAF and are opposing Trump on various issues.

Why would 50+ republicans retire if they were confident the election would be rigged in their favor?
