The quote is in the context of socialist/anarchist ideas. If you are referring to the USian right then they are doing it because they are fascist who want to remain in power. and they’ve been making voting harder for a long time now in order to disenfranchise voters and get in power. From my anarchist point of view both neo-liberal democracy and fascism are the status-quo.

I know. I deliberately chose to use a different scale for the word to make a point. By that I mean reformist/traditionalist instead of reformist/revolutionary. Using reformist for anyone who wants to change(reform) society.
I do this quite a lot. deliberately misinterpret the point to point out the fuzziness of terms. I should probably remember to point that out whenever I do it.

No politician can be reformist. It’s a job that requires subservience to the status quo. After all “If voting changed anything they’d make it illegal.”

If you mean anarchy then I always recommend the AFAQ: https://anarchistfaq.org/afaq/index.html. (elections are handled in section J.2).
If you don’t (mean anarchy) then I don’t (have any recommendations).
