(6,991 posts)Was going to beat the type of voter-suppression & ruskie meddling that Hillary Clinton had to face. Not to mention that stupid, unnecessary email "spasm" that Comey had a few days before the election
This election was never winnable for ANY Dem. Bernie would have faced the SAME voter-suppression/purging/ruskie meddling, plus there is STILL talk of that 3 inch dossier that Nazi Leninist, de-constructor of this country Bannon "allegedly" has on him if he decides to runs for POTUS in 2020, and we know that Dems are horrible at fighting back against thuglicans dirty tricks
But back to the subject at hand:
Crosscheck Removed 450K Voters in MI, 270 K in AZ and 590 K in NC.
Crosscheck in action: Trump victory margin in Michigan: 13,107 Michigan Crosscheck purge list: 449,922
Trump victory margin in Arizona: 85,257 Arizona Crosscheck purge list: 270,824
Trump victory margin in North Carolina: 177,008 North Carolina Crosscheck purge list: 589,393
On Tuesday, we saw Crosscheck elect a Republican Senate and as President, Donald Trump. The electoral putsch was aided by nine other methods of attacking the right to vote of Black, Latino and Asian-American voters, methods detailed in my book and film, including Caging, purging, blocking legitimate registrations, and wrongly shunting millions to provisional ballots that will never be counted.

tRumputin barely won the 3 states (PA., WI., MI.) he HAD to win by only a few thousand votes (About 77,000) which installed him into the presidency. He was losing those 3 states the day before November 8th, but magically he came from behind to win those 3 states--barely at the last minute. And who knows what really happened to Dems in Ohio & Florida, two states where Dem votes probably haven't been counted fairly or counted at ALL on a constant basis since 2004 and 2000 respectively.
Finally, we know that newer and more anti-Dem voter ID laws, Dem vote-purging, crosscheck will be very alive, well and completely OFF THE CHAIN in the 2018 and 2020 elections, and that the ruskies (Who never stopped meddling per Clint Watts, Comey et al) will be just as engaged if not more in 2018/2020 and using different tactics to effect our elections that will KEEP thuglicans in office for their own gain and to further erode our Democracy. Our putin-installed, treasonous president along with his Department of Homeland in-Security doesn't give two dead flies about ruskie-meddling or about stopping any form of voter-suppression as it's used AGAINST Dems. I won't bother mentioning what racist, Keebler Elf beauguard could do to stop Dems (Minorities) from voting in 2018/2020, but he'll be LONG gone before our elections start in 2018/2020.
I'm not sure what Dems CAN do to stop ruskie meddling or GOP voter-suppression leading into 2018, as thuglicans/putin control the White House, and as the GOP control vote collections and vote tallying all across this country in a voting system where all of our voting apparatus is compromised, old, hackable etc.
