Investigative journalist Greg Palast: Here's how Trump will steal the 2020 election
Palast's new book, "How Trump Stole 2020," outlines a nightmare: Trump loses the electoral vote and wins anyway

As Election Day 2020 approaches, it would appear that presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden and his party have much to celebrate.

Biden leads Donald Trump by an average of eight percentage points in national polling, with some surveys showing Biden ahead of Trump by as many as 14 percentage points.

In our most recent conversation, Palast warns that Joe Biden's chances against Donald Trump are worse than the polls suggest because millions of Democrats will have their votes thrown out on Election Day. Moreover, many of those voters will have no idea that their votes were purged and therefore not counted.

Palast explains how the Republican Party has refined its strategy of voter suppression, voter intimidation and vote theft in elections across the country. Palast also highlights how the planned chaos during the recent Georgia Democratic primaries is a preview of how the Republican Party intends to steal the 2020 presidential election for Donald Trump.

We can't afford to just pretend that this is going to be a normal election.

Joe Biden will win. He’s not Hillary Clinton. Biden in a landslide. 2020 is not 2016.2

If it is close, 3-5%, then trump will steal it and our democracy is truly dead forever.
