How To Rig An Election: Let Me Count The Ways......

Starting out with destroying the USPS and letting Russia interfere through social media - what other rigging methods have Trump and the Repugs set in motion to suppress votes, steal and cheat for the November election?

- supporting Kanye
- letting people get evicted
- telling them mail-in voting is rife with fraud
- putting the fear of Covid in people so they don't vote in person
- seeding lies about the Dem candidates

Please add to this list as to the many ways that Trump & the Repugs all around the country - are attempting to steal this election. The American People need to see this to understand how their 'right to vote' is being compromised.

If People believe their rights are infringed upon because they are made to wear a mask during a 'pandemic' - what about their right to 'vote' and have a fair election?

We must publicize this information to make sure that - one way or another - that the American People are aware and informed just who is taking away their 'right to vote'.

Has any journalist confronted Trump about the fact that it is apparent that Trump is rigging the election in his favor? Or are they just 'pussy footing' around the issue as to not offend Trump.

We need to let him know that we are on to him.

It just upsets me to no end that Trump and the Repugs are doing all this rigging and cheating - in plain sight and in the light of day and being arrogant about it to boot - and we can't do anything to stop them.

I'm thinking that by making the American People aware of all the methods Trump and the Repugs are using might help GOTV to finally put an end to their destroying our Democracy.

1) close polling places so people have to travel
2) voter id laws
2b) move the state ID stations off the bus lines into the suburbs to make it harder for POC to vote
3) multiple lawsuits funded by scumbags from Lehman Brothers, Schwab, Home Depot to defend voter suppression laws
4) Delaying the rights of people who have served their prison time to vote so we have at least one more Jim Crow election
5) Using Russian owned voting machines
6) refusing to vote to spend money to fund the elections in the Senate
7) Buy lots of ads on facebook so that Zuckerberg's bottom line would be hurt if he enforced truth rules
8) Have your rich donors (see #3) buy time on shows only if they engage in a lot of both siderism
9) Count on the usual suspects in Florida, Ohio, and Georgia to screw people out of getting their votes counted (See Bush elections, both of them) and the recent Georgia elections)
