Trump Files First Election Lawsuit in Chilling Sign of What’s to Come

The election fraud lawsuits have started again.

The election fraud lawsuits have started again.

…

But Trump chose to stoke the flames Wednesday morning, posting on Truth Social that “Pennsylvania is cheating, and getting caught, at large scale levels rarely seen before.”

“Law enforcement must act, NOW!” he added.

Bucks County officials confirmed to NBC Philadelphia that they had been notified of the lawsuit, but did not provide further comment. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, meanwhile, shot back at the Republican presidential nominee, highlighting that Trump and his allies have spent the last four years actively corroding public trust in U.S. elections—and that they are currently warming up their second conspiracy to undermine the 2024 election results.

    Y’all need to unify your federal election into an actual federal election. Not 50 separate ones.

    It would be a lot harder to pick and choose battleground states for lawsuits if you 1. Change the voting system yes, but also and importantly 2. Have consistent rules and voting infrastructure across the whole country.

    Having to understand 50 separate election rules makes it way easier to sow doubt.

    I am aware there are also some federal laws on voting, but still.

      I tend to agree, at a minimum there should be federal regulations for federal elections, but the problem is that it’s impossible without a constitutional amendment making that definition. :(

      The idea of ANY amendment even getting started with the 290 vote super majority in the House is just beyond us right now. :(

      Election reform, supreme court reform, term limits, should all be top of mind.
