The Secret GQP War on Democracy

Thousands of local threats to our votes

If you think that voter suppression laws are a threat to free and fair elections, you are right. While scary and upsetting, they do impact Republican voters as well. So there’s that.

But something else in the fascist Republican playbook is perhaps a greater threat and it is described in this well researched and Terrifying Video. I have linked this as a gift article so even if you are not a NY Times subscriber, it will be viewable.

Just as radical Republicans have infiltrated the court system with Federalist Society hack judges, the very mechanics of our election apparatus at the most basic level are being invaded by recruited operatives to challenge the valid results of well run elections. Democracy and your precious vote are under attack.

The Secretary of State accepts and certifies the election results - unless he is a “denier”. In the GQP instruction manual an election lost is an election stolen. But the threat is even more insidious than the Secretary of State races. Watch the video and ask your local election board or officials how they plan to handle this.
