An army of conservative activists is poring over state voter lists in search of registration errors that can be used to file what are known as voter challenges.

    Stopping people from voting was always the goal. It was never about ensuring the integrity of the election. Republicans realize at some level that if they do not exclude a sizeable chunk of voters, they won’t win.

      Yes. Absent any evidence of meaningful voter fraud (which is reality – it doesn’t happen), the ONLY explanation for all the focus on voter fraud by conservatives is that they want an excuse to undermine democracy.

      They want to manipulate the elections by getting rid of voters they don’t like and want an excuse to deny and ignore the election results when they are undesirable.

        Trump literally came out and said they had been “waging a war against american democracy” the other day. This isn’t even something we need to infer anymore.

      Republicans realize at some level that if they do not exclude a sizeable chunk of voters, they won’t win.

      That’s the reason for the GOP’s War on Democracy
