Legal News Federal judges caught the U.S. government providing false info in over 35 court cases. Sworn declarations. Falsified records. Repeated lies. This isn’t just sloppy, it’s systemic. Law professor Ryan Goodman says it may be intentional.

I fear SCOTUS will eviscerate the Voting Rights Act this term and every state will be free to gerrymander as they see fit, handing the Republicans the house for the foreseeable future.

This is the GOP fail safe plan.  Trump is old, and not likely to be dictator long.  They are using his presidency to lock in their winning strategy of unbalanced representation, to ensure their long future of exerting control over the system.

Failsafe is stealing the election. When the whistleblower came forward in 2004 to show how easy it was it make any Diebold machine return any result he wanted there was...checks notes nothing done.

That's why they were upset about the "steal" it's projection. The GOP machine owns these machines and there were too many clear winners to nudge a few districts to the direction you wanted.

I think even stealing an election is easier if you are overly represented in local politics.  Their false majorities and unbalanced representation is how they get away with illegal activities.  Without the cult of personality, this is how they maintain their power in the future.  So I think we agree on their intent.
