I agree it would be a temporary measure. Realistically Republicans only need ~6 more governors on board before they can start talking constitutional amendments, and do away with these pesky restrictions all together.
Not directly, but indirectly. You gerrymander the district-based positions, which allow you to pass legislation enabling you to suppress enough votes to win the statewide elections, too.

That sounds like something someone who’s never heard of gerrymandering or voter suppression would say.
Voter suppression would work, but you can’t gerrymander state-wide votes.
