The Success of the Voter Fraud Myth

nyt editorial

'How does a lie come to be widely taken as the truth?

The answer is disturbingly simple: Repeat it over and over again. When faced with facts that contradict the lie, repeat it louder.'>>>

It's mind boggling how many blatant falsehoods the GOP
and their rightwing media minions have planted and nurtured.
We need a good weed whacker to beat these lies back.

In OH Sec. of State Jon Husted has used the lies about voter fraud and people voting twice
time after time and the Republicans in the State House and State Senate, along with Governor
Kasich have gone along with these lies in order to surpress the vote w/voter ID laws and
restricting the # of polling places.

Trump has pushed this lie too w/his "you'll have people voting 10 times w/out ID laws."
