2. I know! I did a double take on this one, too!

Wasn't she also involved in the "fake electors" scheme?? Why does she still have a license, let alone being prosecuted along with the others??

3. I've never heard any of these magas say who was cheating and how

[Rhiannon12866]

4. Good point. But we all heard the phone call TFG made to Georgia and know about fake electors in seven states

[Walleye]

5. Exactly. All they have is vague conspiracy theories. Who cheated? Accuse them to their face goddamnit

[Rhiannon12866]

6. They have no facts, they're just angry that their attempts to overthrow the 2020 election were unsuccessful

President Biden won by too many millions of votes, making it impossible for them to cheat.

“We have the first-ever election integrity division at the [Republican National Committee],” Lara Trump told Fox News’s Sean Hannity on Tuesday evening. “That means massive resources going to this one thing. If people out there, Sean, don’t feel like their vote counts, they don’t trust the system we have, then we are no longer the country we once thought we were.”.....

People like Trump’s longtime attorney Rudy Giuliani. People like Christina Bobb, onetime host on the fringe-right cable channel One America News and, now, the RNC’s senior counsel for election integrity.

Until this appointment, Bobb’s legacy from this era was likely to relate to her service as one of Trump’s enormous, evolving coterie of attorneys. Bobb signed the June 2022 document asserting that Trump had turned over to the government all material marked as classified in his possession. (He had not.) But now she has a chance to make her mark on Trump’s signature electoral issue.

She has a robust pedigree, at least as far as Trump is concerned. Soon after the 2020 election, she began working with Giuliani and others to elevate baseless or later-debunked claims about the results in various states having been tainted by fraud. She was involved in the “audit” of votes in Arizona, working with Trump campaign official (and Georgia co-defendant) Mike Roman. She wrote a book, published in January 2023, cataloguing familiar (and baseless or debunked) criticisms of the results. It’s all there, from Antrim County to State Farm Arena to True the Vote. (The book’s forward was written by Stephen K. Bannon; Jim Hoft of the conspiracy-promoting site Gateway Pundit wrote a blurb.).....

The most important part of all of this, of course, is that in-person fraud of the sort that these efforts are meant to combat is vanishingly rare. The odds that someone “watching” a polling place and uncovering someone trying to vote illegally are near-zero. The odds that those poll-watchers will, instead, hassle someone trying to vote legally or scare off people uninterested in being similarly hassled are much, much higher.....

Even things like requiring voter identification have been shown to disproportionately affect turnout among Black and younger voters, groups that vote more heavily Democratic. In the pre-Trump era, there was often an understanding on the right that the advantage of making it harder to vote wasn’t that it prevented fraud (given how rare it was) but that it offered a perceived advantage in suppressing Democratic votes. By all appearances, the new GOP actually thinks that fraud needs to be combated.

The issue of in person voter impersonation was raised in the Texas voter id litigation. The Texas AG Greg Abbott could provide no evidence of this type of fraud.

The GOP is the party of voter suppression
