Again, there was ZERO evidence of any kind of systematic fraud in the 2020 election. They filed 62 lawsuits to challenge the results and ALL OF THEM were dismissed for lack of evidence! The system is designed to catch fraud and you can’t say it’s rigged just because you don’t like the results. Trump, Vance, and many other Republican leaders have refused to admit that Trump lost in 2020. When he loses again in 2024, we’re going to have a repeat of all that nonsense. 🙄

“With days left in the presidential race, former President Trump has once again questioned U.S. election integrity — pairing long debunked lies about the 2020 election being stolen from him with equally baseless claims of fresh cheating.

“In a Friday post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump wrote that there was ‘rampant Cheating and Skulduggery’ in 2020; that he and his allies are watching closely for similar problems in the current race; and that, if he wins, those involved in such ‘unscrupulous behavior’ will be ‘sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.’

“Trump’s remarks echoed previous claims he has made without proof that U.S. elections have been corrupted, and drew renewed condemnation from election experts.

“‘Sadly we have seen this playbook before,’ said Sophia Lin Lakin, director of the Voting Rights Project at the American Civil Liberties Union, which is fighting legal challenges to voter access initiatives and protections nationwide.

“‘Trump is doubling down on setting the groundwork to question and try to overturn the election if it doesn’t go his way,” Lakin said. “His threats of prosecution sound in authoritarianism and should concern all who care about preserving our democratic institutions.’

“Sean Morales-Doyle, director of the Voting Rights Program at the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University, said it was important not to repeat Trump’s claims but refute them — because they are not grounded in fact, and they undermine the very system he is criticizing by driving down both trust and participation among voters.”

“GOP lawmakers have signaled their intention to elevate the issue ahead of the November election, despite scant evidence that it has ever been a problem before.”

“While the bills echo a favorite claim from Republicans regarding election fraud, several years of research and data suggest that the problem they attempt to solve up to now has been so rare as to be insignificant.”

“In the broadest terms, a person can vote in federal, state and local elections if they are a U.S. citizen, meet the residency requirements of the state they reside in, are 18 years old on or before the day of the election and are registered to vote by the state’s voter registration deadline.

“Federal law also requires all voter registration forms to advise those signing up that they must swear they are a citizen under penalty of perjury. And in 1996, Congress passed a broad immigration law that explicitly banned noncitizen voting in federal elections, making it punishable by up to a year in prison.

“However, states and localities have latitude to set their own election requirements. And in some places, those lawmakers have adopted differing postures on issues like whether to allow convicted felons or minors to vote.”

Two lawsuits have been filed in Wisconsin challenging the eligibility of over 100,000 voters, claiming that they ‘appear to be invalid’. And almost half are in Milwaukee County. Overall, clearly targeting cities that tend to vote Democrat. This is happening in all the “battleground states” and the purpose is actually to sow distrust and undermine confidence in the elections. Presumably so if their candidate loses, they think they’ll have a basis for challenging the results.

TO BE CLEAR, the state’s elections commission is constantly vetting voter registration statuses via multiple sources, including U.S. Postal Service records, and they are already effectively removing ineligible voters from the rolls (usually because the people have moved).

These lawsuits were brought by attorney Daniel Eastman, who also was one of the lawyers involved in a 2020 lawsuit seeking to overturn Trump’s loss to Biden.

Trump clearly sides with Russia. Not like that’s any surprise, but he described Ukraine in bleak and mournful terms Wednesday, referring to its people as “dead” and the country itself as “demolished.”

“Trump laid blame for the conflict on President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. He said Biden ‘egged it all on’ by pledging to help Ukraine defend itself rather than pushing it to cede territory to Russia.”

He wouldn’t question the motives or methods of Putin, he just said that if HE were president, Putin would never have invaded Ukraine. As if Trump could control Putin in ANY way. That probably means that he would have threatened Ukraine until Ukraine agreed to cede the land to Russia. Can’t have a war if it doesn’t start, right? Trump clearly, CLEARLY, doesn’t care about the Ukrainian people, but about pleasing his idol, Putin.
