Stop pretending Trump and his supporters care about ‘voter fraud’

Let’s start with Adam Laxalt, the leading GOP Senate candidate in Nevada. The New York Times has obtained audio of Laxalt declaring that he’s already assembling a legal team to combat inevitable election fraud in his race — 231 days before Election Day.

“We’re vetting which group we think is going to do better,” Laxalt said, apparently referring to the team he’s putting together. Laxalt claimed things are “different” now than in 2020, in that there is far more awareness of “election fraud” than before.

Can we please stop pretending that Republicans echoing Donald Trump’s lies about 2020 are motivated by a genuine desire to crack down on voter fraud?

Two new developments should bury this absurdity once and for all: One involves a Republican candidate for Senate who is already preparing to contest a future election loss. The second involves Trump pulling an endorsement to punish insufficient devotion to his 2020 mythologizing.

As GOP lawmakers push for more election fraud charges, prosecutors find few cases

In Wisconsin, two local prosecutors in recent days have announced they will not file criminal charges over allegations that a bipartisan state elections commission broke the law by changing voting rules in 2020.

In Georgia, a hotbed of fraud claims, state election officials so far have referred a total of two 2020 cases to prosecutors.

And in Arizona, ground zero for numerous GOP-led efforts to prove mass electoral wrongdoing, the state’s Republican attorney general has so far filed fraud cases against just 12 individuals.

Across the country, officials are openly resisting calls from allies of former president Donald Trump for mass arrests of people they claim stole the presidential election for Joe Biden. In fact, in swing states targeted by Trump, officials have so far brought only a handful of fraud prosecutions.
