(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
Bianco is an outspoken Trump supporter who said in an endorsement video in 2024 that, after 30 years of putting criminals in jail, he figured it was “time to put a felon in the White House — Trump 2024, baby” — referencing Trump’s conviction by a New York jury for falsifying business records while paying hush money to a porn actor.
This is a trial run for November. Republicans have completely abandoned democracy.
“There is no indication, anywhere in the United States, of widespread voter fraud,” Bonta said. “Counts, recounts, hand counts, audits, and court cases all support this.”
Just the jerrymandering, voter suppression, intimidation, long lineups and inconvenience for certain polling stations, the email and web campaigns with wrong dates and locations, a precariat who can't afford to take time off work to vote, a media landscape run by billionaires who misinform the masses via false narratives, cambridge analytica style shenanigans, foreign interference and kompromat operations, having your President in a clearly compromised position to Russia and Israel. Now you can add the ICE gestapo on the streets.
Yeah. Nothing to see here.
Those things are totally real and are how elections are actually stolen.
What they’re saying here is that people don’t steal elections by getting a ton of people to vote fraudulently.
Whew! I was worried for a moment.
So you’re both right. Because the unquoted section of your comment describes electoral fraud, not voter fraud.
It's always projection with these people. Voter fraud in 3...2...
Well, yeah. Most of the (extremely uncommon) cases of actual voter fraud in the last decade or so have been from republican voters.
No indication of voter fraud, but electoral fraud by the Grand Old Pedophiles is rampant, and Bianco's tactics are just another example.
Wikipedia: Electoral fraud, sometimes referred to as election manipulation, election scam, voter fraud, vote rigging, or election engineering,[1] involves illegal interference with the process of an election, either by increasing the vote share of a favored candidate, depressing the vote share of rival candidates, or both.[2] It differs from but often goes hand-in-hand with voter suppression.
