Snippets from a Q and A:
* Heather Honey, a prominent election denial activist, is now the deputy assistant secretary for Election Integrity at the Department of Homeland Security
* We’ve also learned that a lawyer named Kurt Olsen, who has long been a major part of the election denial movement and is very close to Mike Lindell, is now working at the White House on a special project to investigate the 2020 election.
* Everything the federal government is doing to elections is important to pay attention to, because so much of it just hasn’t happened before. That includes an effort by the Department of Justice to build a national voter roll, which is frightening election officials. They worry it could be replete with errors, and that it could be used for political purposes or weaponized either against individual voters or whole states.
* First, existing federal programs that protect election infrastructure and security have been slashed, both by the Department of Government Efficiency’s work force cuts, as well as other funding and staffing cuts. That set off alarm bells for local election officials, who worried they were losing longtime federal partners who have helped them to secure American elections.
* Then, Trump issued an executive order that would have given the executive branch — which has no constitutional authority over elections — an unprecedented role in running elections. That has gotten tied up in court, but it shows that he wanted to use the government’s power to change the electoral system.
this situation’s straight whack. Idk why ppl can’t see what’s happening right in front of em. Dude’s been crazy sus since day 1
We are fucked my friends.
I’ve seen people here on Reddit claim he didn’t really win the last election. And that after insisting for years that he didn’t truly win the first time either due to Russian interference etc. Election denial is bipartisan consensus.
The Republicans will never allow a peaceful transfer of power back to the Democrats again. EVER. They can’t afford to. They HAVE to rig elections and do anything else they can think of to make sure they stay in power forever.
Too many of them have been too complicit in too many obvious crimes that they would be held accountable for if the Democrats ever regained power, so they simply can’t risk allowing that to happen. They’re into this right-out-in-the-open criminal Trump shit too deep already to try to reverse course now and so they have no choice but to be committed to going all the way.
We’re watching the endgame for American democracy play out right now.
In charge of elections? He is in the executive branch… he has no authority to put anyone anywhere regarding elections. Idk why people are entertaining this nonsense. If someone comes to your state calling themselves a “federal polling monitor” have security escort them to the nearest exit. If they persist… put them in jail. The only people who can even somewhat authorize this are Congress.
If we wanted free and fair elections we would have elected Harris.
We can only lose by fraud = some pretty clear god complex narcissism.
So pretty much everything democrats warned about and people accused them of being hysterical.
What worries me the most about all of Trump’s efforts to rig elections is that if people stop thinking elections can be won they’ll find other ways to fight that will make America even scarier than now.
If maga thinks they can steal an election, they got a thing coming. We won’t let them
Send in the Cyber Ninjas!
I keep trying to tell Democrats in Congress that in 2026 you can forget about taking back the house or Senate and in 2028 you can forget about any presidential elections. Martial Law will be in full swing and a Civil War with millions dead in the streets. Welcome to the New World Order. SEIG HEIL

America is swimming in corruption.
The Trump-loving governor of Nevada fired the states head of election cyber security in summer of 2024… a politically appointed position… Under the explanation of “he was appointed by a democrat and I don’t trust that”. The governor then deliberately left the position vacant until two days after the November election. And for the first time in 30 years Nevada went red… You can’t convince me there isn’t an organized effort to stack the deck.
