With election denialists installed in key positions, officials using series of measures to change voting rules
The Trump administration is waging war on voting rights using justice department lawsuits, FBI investigations, and an executive order to limit voting by mail, moves mirroring the US president’s false claims he lost the 2020 election due to voting fraud, say election experts and ex-officials.
Since Donald Trump began his second term, numerous 2020 election denialists have been installed in key agencies such as the DoJ, the FBI and elsewhere to pursue widely discredited claims of fraud, which can intimidate election workers and voters in swing states that Trump lost to Joe Biden in 2020.
The justice department has also filed lawsuits seeking sensitive voter data from 30 states – even though, by law, states control elections – and the FBI has launched investigations into debunked allegations of voting fraud in Georgia, Wisconsin and a few other swing states that Trump lost in 2020.
I’m shocked he won’t play fair. Who could’ve seen this coming? I hope all the people who refused to do anything so far and insisted the midterms would save them wake up before it’s too late.
This is why I always laugh at people that keep saying “Get out and vote”. Its clear this fucker is not going to let the democratic process function as normal if it results in him losing power. You cannot use a broken system to fix itself. Revolution is the only way forward, people just need to stop lying to themselves about it.
“If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will abandon democracy.”
Fascy is as Fascy does
Sigh. Donald Trump did not become President (Twice!) by listening to experts…
