As the GOP readies a 2000 sequel, the entire nation sleeps . . .

The story of a sitting governor of a state with a history of presidential election shenanigans knowingly purging his own, eligible constituents from the voter rolls is the definition of major news, and yet remarkably, in the first five months of the year, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today have published a total of zero articles about Scott’s actions. The New York Times did slightly better, printing one story on page 16 of the Friday, May 18th edition. The article ran under the credulous headline: “Florida Steps Up Effort Against Illegal Voters.”

They fake a few polls and the public doesn't question the outcome in November.

The GOP are pros when it comes to to election fraud.

This is outright cheating and you can tell by the media blackout that the powers that be are in control of the supposed News outlets. As far as I can tell absolutely nothing was done about this back in the year 2000. How can you go from 50 News outlets to about 5 outlets which are ran by the rich elitist to control the narrative of information. Let the Brainwashing of the public continue, and they are not even trying to hide it. The public is no smarter now then the times of the Mayans, cutting off people heads in sacrifice to a Sun God. The public overestimates its own intelligence, the elitist have history on its side to judge the ignorance of the public.

Not trying to be snarky, but the Democrats allowed Theft 2000 to take place, too. They didn't fight and they didn't stand with the Congressional Black Caucus against certification of that "vote."

As for the media, it is worthless and has been since the Clinton years.

In the 12 years since Theft 2000, what have Dems done about voting machine manipulation, voter roll purges, media considation and bias, and other repuke dirty tricks?!

Bottom line: same shit, different day.
