( Tweet ) Elizabeth Warren @ewarren: Some of the richest, most powerful people in America










Excerpt: The Claremont Institute, once a little-known think tank often confused with the liberal-arts college of the same name, has emerged as a driving force in the conservative movement’s crusade to use bogus fraud claims about the 2020 election to rewrite voting laws and remake the election system in time for the 2022 midterms and 2024 presidential election. Most infamously, one of the group’s legal scholars crafted memos outlining a plan for how then-Vice President Mike Pence could potentially overturn the last election.

Conservative mega-donors like what they see.

Just like they did after Florida 2000 ... they pushed through HAVA (help America vote act) which got
us all voting on electronic machines. "They" know they're doomed by demographics so cheating is must.

... Jennifer Brunner and she had the Everest Study done on E. Voting machines and it showed everyone of them have electronic backdoors built into them that allowed outside people to look @ the data and in some cases manipulate it and all the time not leaving any electronic fingerprints.

MIT, Cal Tech, and OSU along with the voting machine manufacturers took part in the study.

After we switched,* to the electronic machines the exit polls stopped matching the vote.

* and even before that too.

In 2016 the exit polls had Hillary winning MN, WI, MI, NC, PA, and FL.

Until the conned realize on their own they're being conned, they'll continue to vote against their own best self-interests and foolishly carry out the Master Plan for the masters.
