In reply to the discussion: The Texas fraudit has finally shattered any remaining spin the GOP was ever about election integrity [View all]Botany
(70,447 posts)25. "The GOP was ever about election integrity"
They haven't been about election integrity for years.
See bush v Gore
See Ohio 2004
See Trump 2016
See Dick Nixon's deal to stop LBJ's plan to end the Vietnam War in 1968
See gerrymandering
See voter I.D. laws
See interstate cross check
See future Chief Justice Burger's stopping people from registering to vote in Arizona
The GOP knows they are a minority party so they have to cheat in elections, pack the courts, gerrymander,
flood the zone with dirty and dark money, and manipulate the media (Hell, I just learned that Zuckerberg
and Facebook paid a $5 billion penalty for working with Cambridge Analytica/Russia to help rat fuck the
2016 election.)

Supporting the Texas fraudit means you agree that T**** is the legitimate president.
