I admit my reading comprehension could be off, but that is about the dumbest, most confusing way to word a statement that is so potentially contentious. My interpretation was that he said if the ‘election fraud’ is not ‘resolved’, Republicans won’t bother voting because they will assume it is rigged. The ‘election fraud’ has not been ‘resolved’ (because there never was any), hence, Republicans should stay home.
But since it is worded so poorly, you can just as easily assume the other interpretation is correct as well, e.g., it’s ‘the most important thing’ because not voting will ‘send a message’ that Republicans refuse to participate in a ‘broken election system’. He also said ‘will not be voting’ instead of potentially making the message clearer with different wording like ‘will not be able to vote’, so that makes not voting sound like an intentional choice Republicans should make.
