With election denialists installed in key positions, officials using series of measures to change voting rules
The Trump administration is waging war on voting rights using justice department lawsuits, FBI investigations, and an executive order to limit voting by mail, moves mirroring the US president’s false claims he lost the 2020 election due to voting fraud, say election experts and ex-officials.
Since Donald Trump began his second term, numerous 2020 election denialists have been installed in key agencies such as the DoJ, the FBI and elsewhere to pursue widely discredited claims of fraud, which can intimidate election workers and voters in swing states that Trump lost to Joe Biden in 2020.
The justice department has also filed lawsuits seeking sensitive voter data from 30 states – even though, by law, states control elections – and the FBI has launched investigations into debunked allegations of voting fraud in Georgia, Wisconsin and a few other swing states that Trump lost in 2020.
The Democrats are nothing but controlled opposition. While yes there are some Democrats in congress who are doing their best to make changes, the DNC is not going to let them get very far. When/if the blue wave comes in November, nothing will effectively change. Keeping the status quo will be the Democrats main goal. They may try to impeach a few members of trumps cabinet, but thats about it. The Overton Window has shifted waaaaaaaay too far to the right at this point, current establishment Democrats are further right than Regan ever was.
