Donald Trump is rightthe election IS rigged. And its his buddies who are rigging it. Rolling Stonehas unearthed a confidential list of MILLIONS of voters who are marked to be purged, up to a million at risk by November. Who? Mostly, voters of color, i.e. Democrats.
On Friday, Rolling Stone will release on newsstands, The GOPs Secret War on Voters, a years-long investigation by Greg Palast and a team of experts exposing a scheme by 29 Republican state voting officials to remove voters, a program directed by ultra-right Trump operative Kris Kobach Secretary of State of Kansas.
Taking off from Trumps unsubstantiated claim that "people are voting many, many times," GOP officials are targeting voters who are allegedly voting or registered in two states and can therefore vote a second time in November. While voting twice is a felony crime, and less than 6 voters have been convicted of this crime, the GOP purge operation is removing tens of thousands of innocent voters as you read this.
Palast obtained the listskept "confidential" by states on grounds these millions are criminal suspects. According to database experts who have statistically analyzed the lists, the program is "dangerous" and "seriously biased against minorities." Already, the swings states with tight Senate races, Ohio, North Carolina and Arizona are quietly removing voters through this racially poisonous purge operation.

(15,262 posts)Republicans know from experience that they can change the outcome of the presidential race doing this, and a lot of other races too in the process. The purge in some precincts and counties, and do not purge where Republicans dominate the voter rolls.
In Florida 2000, they purge many valid black voters simply on the basis of their name matching a felon in another state. That is a felonious practice and if they are doing it again they need to go to jail.

(15,235 posts)It's the only way Trump can win. Also, he has caused issues for other politicians of the GOP, with minorities that will attempt to vote them out of office.

(65,616 posts)He knew their votes were being purged. And the GOPers always scratch their heads and ask, "why do people keep calling us racist".
Proof is in the pudding.
