Trump and his Republican partners in the destruction of American democracy really don\u2019t want us to vote this fall or in 2028. And there\u2019s a good reason for it, at least in their minds. <\/p>\n

Read more The ghost of 1980 and the \u2018curse\u2019 that could crush Trump\u2019s presidency<\/a><\/p>\n

Joyce Vance just pointed out that Howard Lutnick, Trump\u2019s morbidly rich crony Commerce Secretary, claimed this week that they\u2019d found over 24,000 noncitizens who\u2019d illegally voted in the 2020 election. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a lie, of course, and a pretty naked one at that, but this will be the foundation for Republicans establishing even more draconian rules to prevent married women, racial minorities, city dwellers, and low-income people from voting this fall and in 2028. <\/p>\n

Also this week, the Center for American Progress released an extraordinarily disturbing fact sheet summarizing an investigation they published that documents fifteen separate, interlocking tactics the Trump administration, Republican governors, and GOP members of Congress are engaging in right now to rig this fall\u2019s election.<\/p>\n

Their tactics range from firing the bipartisan Election Assistance Commissions\u2019 commissioners to encouraging Red state voter purges to putting ICE agents outside polling places in clear violation of federal law.<\/p>\n

The six corrupt Republicans on the Supreme Court are also deciding, perhaps this week or next, whether to let Trump\u2019s hand-picked Postmaster General have your mailman refuse to deliver your ballot if you\u2019re not on Trump\u2019s approved voter list. <\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s executive order to do this has been blocked twice by a federal judge, noting that the Constitution is clear that only states run elections and the executive branch has no authority whatsoever to even try to regulate them. And now it\u2019s in the hands of six corrupt Republicans on the Supreme Court. <\/p>\n

And the plain words of the Constitution \u2014 which references the \u201cright to vote\u201d six times, including five Amendments that say, \u201cThe right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged\u2026\u201d \u2014 have never been an obstacle for Republicans on the Court. Just read the plain text of the Fourth and Fifth Amendments and compare that to ICE\u2019s behavior, which the Court is allowing.<\/p>\n

Sadly, we need to be ready for anything, because Republicans now have a 58-year-long record of committing crimes and treason to get their men into the White House.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Nixon sabotaged LBJ\u2019s Vietnam peace deal just before the election of 1968, an event LBJ and Senate Republican Leader Everett Dirksen called \u201ctreason\u201d on a phone call that wasn\u2019t released until decades after Johnson\u2019s death. Because the war continued, Nixon beat Humphrey that year by lying that he had a \u201csecret plan\u201d to end the war, and an additional 20,000+ Americans and over an additional million Vietnamese died.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Reagan\u2019s campaign cut a deal with the Iranian Ayatollah to hold the 52 hostages they\u2019d taken during Carter\u2019s presidency until after the election. Iran kept the deal destroying Carter\u2019s chance in the 1980 election, and for six years Reagan secretly and illegally sold them American-made weapons in violation of the law. We remember that as the \u201cIran-Contra Scandal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Florida Governor Jeb Bush had 57,000 mostly Black Floridians purged from the voting rolls just months before the 2000 election, which let his brother George W. Bush squeak by with a 537 vote margin. When the Florida Supreme Court, smelling a rat, ordered a recount, five corrupt Republicans \u2014 including Bush\u2019s father\u2019s nominee Clarence Thomas \u2014 violated the state\u2019s rights Tenth Amendment and blocked the recount, putting Bush into the White House even though a later recount found that Al Gore had won the election. President Jimmy Carter told me on my radio program: \u201cI don\u2019t think that George W. Bush won the election in 2000, and he probably lost Florida and nationwide\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 And then there was the GOP\u2019s theft of the 2024 election. Greg Palast, a reporter with a masters\u2019 degree in statistics, went through the official state-by-state statistics and found that 4,776,706 voters were wrongly purged from the rolls: 2,121,000 mail were ballots disqualified by Republican challenges, 1,216,000 provisional ballots were thrown away uncounted, 3.24 million new registrations were rejected or never processed, and 585,000 in-person ballots were \u201cspoiled.\u201d<\/p>\n

He found Black voters were four times as likely as white voters to have their mail ballot rejected; Black, Hispanic, and Asian-American voters were more than 3 times as likely as white people to be given provisional ballots that were never counted. Had that voter suppression not worked, he concluded, Kamala Harris would be president and the House and Senate may well be in Democratic hands.<\/p>\n

So, here we go again, only this time state-by-state voter suppression \u2014 remember when Texas AG Ken Paxton told Steve Bannon on the air that if he hadn\u2019t blocked Houston from sending out mail-in ballots Trump would have lost Texas? \u2014 is getting a big boost from the feds under Trump\u2019s control.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Trump and his lickspittles have fired or pushed out at least 75 career election security officials, gutted the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and removed the Election Assistance Commission\u2019s commissioners so the agency is now functionally dead.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Civil Rights Division of the DOJ, now run by an apparatchik devoted to undoing civil rights, has threatened election officials in all 50 states with prison if they make even small errors in running their elections. The DOJ itself has sued more than 30 states trying to seize their voter files.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The FBI raided the Fulton County elections office with Tulsi Gabbard, then the Director of National Intelligence, standing over the process at the personal direction of Trump himself as agents hauled away hundreds of boxes of 2020 ballots.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Steve Bannon has repeatedly promised \u2014 most recently this week \u2014 that ICE agents will defy the post-Civil War federal law that bans armed government officials from polling places. <\/p>\n

\u2014 And Trump has, on multiple occasions, floated declaring a national emergency or state of insurrection to shut down this fall\u2019s elections, either nationwide or in places where Democratic majorities may win.<\/p>\n

Back in the old days, Nixon and Reagan at least had the decency to commit their treasonous election thefts in secret. <\/p>\n

Trump is now bragging about it, telling Congress that if they pass his voter suppression bill to prevent low-income people and married women from voting, \u201cWe\u2019ll never lose a race. For 50 years, we won\u2019t lose a race.\u201d <\/p>\n

This is Putin-level corruption, right out in the open, and not a single Republican is pushing back as our national press tries their hardest to avoid discussing it.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve suffered through five illegitimate presidencies in the years since Nixon\u2019s 1968 treason largely because our press has refused to investigate or tell the stories and Democratic leadership has been too timid to bring it up. You know how Republicans would be reacting if the shoe were on the other foot.<\/p>\n

This time the press can\u2019t claim they just didn\u2019t realize what was going on, as happened in 1968, 1980, 2000, and 2024: Trump and his cronies are doing all this right out in the open, and his advisors like Bannon are crowing about it on TV.<\/p>\n
