I’m just guessing, but it might have something to do with just how badly he lost. Trump’s loss was only a couple percentages, so he was pretty sure there would be no real consequences to try because like 40% of the country supported him.

Actually Orban had 38.6% of the votes. It's just that he gerrymandered the electoral law so much that it amplified his own defeat.

thats why the gop in state are afraid of, if they go to heavy into gerrymandering it will ruin thier seats in the end. im surprised orban dint implement some form of voter suppression method.

He did, but lost even so. People with a registered address abroad either couldn't vote or was very hard.
