Can someone explain to me why it is better for any party, but especially the Republican party that less people vote??

If your party and your candidate has a platform and policies that appeals to a larger array of people -- shouldn't you want higher voter participation instead of less?

After some of the usual suspects get done crying about how illegals are voting in the millions -- I would really like for a rational person to explain to me why any party would want less voters and not more?

Well 3pays, I think you answered your own question. "If your party and your candidate has a platform and policies that appeals to a larger array of people -- shouldn't you want higher voter participation instead of less?"

Ya*see, the Shareholding Class is benefitting from the status quo. There's NO NEED to change much. The Problem from the 'majority of Americans' point of view, is that they are not benefitting at all. Sooooo, if we can go back to the Constitution, and just allow white, male, property owners, over 21, to vote ... everybody will be happy.

Because most voters are strongly attached to their party and that attachment continues regardless of policies and platforms. Voters with lower levels of income/education like blacks and Hispanics are strongly attached to the Democratic Party. But lower income/education (and younger) do not vote in high numbers.

So, if blacks, Hispanics, and youth turn out to vote, they almost always vote Democratic. So it is in the interest of Democrats to have a high turnout. Black voters did not turn out in 2016 as well as 2008 and 2012 and Hillary lost a lot of votes that went to Obama. Voter turnout is much higher in presidential elections than mid-terms--do Democrats do better in presidential years and Republicans do better in mid-terms.

Those facts were true before people started whining about illegals voting or voter suppression. In recent years party loyalty has increased and more people vote straight party.

Implicit in your clearly biased source that the GOP wants lower turn out is to win is the the DNC wants higher turn out to win. It offers nothing substantive as to why who wins matters

Everybody as in the white males?

And what if a few mega rich people decide to buy up all the property because you know "free markets" -- wouldn't that concentrate even more power in even less people?

Or fewer for those who get moist over grammar

OK. I'll try to be more clear.

Republicans prefer less/fewer people to vote because most people don't like their ideas.
Democrats want more people to vote because the Democrats support a 'safety net' for all people and more/more people like that idea.

That is BS -- this country is a majority Christian conservative country so republican ideas clearly would resonate more with the American people if they were not being blocked out by minorities entertaining us with their fancy dance moves and slam dunks--and the media pushing democrat policies on us.

How can we be sufficiently anti-gay if we keep having shows like Queer Eye renewed for more seasons?

Well, obviously I can't refute your amazing insight and superior logic, but ... I can point out that Hillary got MORE votes last Election than Trump.

Sort Dicks don't do The do The "Trick"
 
The Repubs figured out long ago that they had a better change to win by fewer voters. Here is the miserable father of voter suppression in 1980.
 
Fact is the more people that vote, the more likely it is that the vote reflects the will of the majority of people. That is democracy.
