They are free to elect who ever they want, but not if they have their way, they need to cheat to win and the laws the red states recently passed reflect this. The republicans turned their states into shitholes for the most part, but racism and stupidity helped too, the more racist the district, the more corrupt and stupid the congress person and state government (we can provide many examples). Trump is going to prison along with many others and the republicans are coming apart at the seams. Looks like ya missed the insurrection in DC on 1/6, ya should have been there, maybe you were!
