Intuitively, it does. In reality, the benefits of doing so seem to be massively outweighed by the drawbacks. But because it seems basic, the GOP can pursue it based on the "it's just common sense" argument, when in reality it's clearly a cynical attempt to give them an edge at the expense of the legitimate voting rights of a decent chunk of the population.
