Opinion: Intercepted GOP robocalls expose how Trump hopes to corrupt the election

For comic relief, note that this shows Trump’s strategy of attacking vote-by-mail is in one sense backfiring — as Republicans

might happen — by dissuading his own voters from using it. Guilfoyle deals with this by claiming on her robocall that the “radical left” doesn’t want Trump voters to use absentee balloting.“Democrats want to scare you away from voting absentee," Guilfoyle says. Never mind all that stuff Trump keeps saying.

But this raises the bigger question: If Trump keeps saying that vote-by-mail is fraudulent, even as his operatives urge supporters to use it by relying on this fake distinction with absentee voting, doesn’t this mean any efforts to contest and invalidate mail ballots could end up tossing out some of his own votes?It turns on a basic trick: In the post-Election Day endgame, the Trump campaign and GOP lawyers will only contest mail ballots in states, pending the counting of large numbers of mail...

Imagine that in Pennsylvania, Trump is very narrowly ahead in the Election Day count, with large numbers of mail ballots left to be counted over coming days or weeks. This is plausible — theHere, Trump will already be ahead in the count, so invalidating mail votes can only preserve his lead, because far larger percentages of those outstanding votes will be for Biden. So even if some Trump supporters’ mail ballots get tossed along with Biden votes, it’s unlikely to harm him.

And so, in a scenario like this, you’ll see the Trump campaign and Republicans vigorously contest those outstanding ballots in court, in numerous ways.

Trump is a liar, crook and cheat. America deserves better. VOTE FOR BIDEN.

I can’t imagine GOP wld brazenly apply one rule to themselves & another to Democrats in an attempt to cheat at all costs. (Slow-moving freight: Trump/GOP have virtually broadcast their plans & posted them on the internet to make sure entire team is coordinating efficiently.)

Opinion: The only sure way to prevent Trump from killing democracy'There's no clearer demarcation between democracy and autocracy than the peaceful transfer of power after an election. Trump showed us on Wednesday that he is prepared to cross that line,' writes FridaGhitis for CNNOpinion FridaGhitis Opinion Omg... he's been crossing the line. Ain't no damn line no more. We're in Purgatory right now! FridaGhitis Opinion If Trump loses, he'll predictably claim that he was cheated while he & his enablers do their utmost to invalidate our belief that the election was fair. He'll then demand that the issue be settled by his sycophants in the SCOTUS. PressSec will then say the people have spoken. FridaGhitis Opinion The peaceful transfer of power ended with Obama.

Dumb all rounder really. O’h great at deceit. There, found something he knows about. Uneducated idiots I’m trying to understand how you can accuse Trump of attempting to undermine checks and balances, while Democrats are actively attempting to eliminate the filibuster. What happened to objective journalism? Journalism has turned in to nothing but ill informed opinion pieces
