The anti-democratic threat remains very much alive

[BidenPresident]

In case you thought President Donald Trump’s defeat in 2020, the ensuing investigations of armed insurrectionists and the work of the House Jan. 6 select committee had deterred future attempts to sabotage democracy, think again.

Politico reports: “Video recordings of Republican Party operatives meeting with grassroots activists provide an inside look at a multi-pronged strategy to target and potentially overturn votes in Democratic precincts: Install trained recruits as regular poll workers and put them in direct contact with party attorneys.”

As a preliminary matter, the ongoing threat of election subversion should remind Attorney General Merrick Garland of the need to prosecute all those involved in the insurrection, including the former president, both for the violence that occurred on Jan. 6, 2021, and the machinations to pressure local election officials, state legislators and the vice president to undermine the will of voters. Garland’s lackadaisical pacing means any prosecution of high-level Trump officials is likely to occur after the midterm elections — if it happens at all. Perhaps the Justice Department should think about the need for deterrence before the next election coup attempt begins.

Nobody gives a fuck about the Jan 6 riot anymore except for Leftist Democrats that have nothing else to run on. They've fucked everything else up so it's all they've got. Got news for them, come November it won't get them many votes...

Wait! What? Aren't you one of those telling us how secure and fraud free our elections are? Don't you regularly say that there is little threat to our elections from fraud and subversion?

Oh... Wait! You are really talking about subverting our elections by locking one party out of them so that the party you favor can retain power. Got it!
