Trump Removed Election Watchdogs Months Before Midterms #ElectionCrisis #Breaking

Donald Trump has now fired the remaining members of the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission because apparently the best way to secure an election is to fire everyone who isn't totally aligned with a candidate running in it. That's not election security, that's Tony Soprano appointing the jury foreman. The Election Assistance Commission helps test voting systems, supports state election officials, and maintains the national mail registration form. Trump has now left it without commissioners just months before the midterms. And Democrats need to stop saying, good news, we're 5 points ahead in the polls. Polls do not protect you when the man controlling the federal government is announcing in advance that any election he loses is fraudulent. Trump's strategy is always the same: say the most corrupt thing imaginable out loud, repeat it until everybody becomes numb, then do it. He has essentially told America, I'm going to use power to enrich my family punish my enemies, and interfere with elections. And Americans keep responding, well, at least he's transparent. Democrats should be preparing for the possibility of federal agents intimidating voters, election officials being threatened, and Democratic candidates facing politically motivated investigations or arrest. Not pretending this will be another normal election night with Steve Kornacki standing in front of a touchscreen. And meanwhile, Republicans are warning that America is being taken over by socialists. Relax. If America's actual communists held a national convention, they couldn't fill a phone booth. Young people, you may have to Google phone booth. Ultimize.
