The Fight for Fair Elections

Tuesday, August 05, 2025

In 2020, 2022, and 2024, our nation held federal elections. Despite the pandemic, threats of violence, denial of results, and extraordinary pressure, these were secure and accurate. Election officials worked together across party lines. The system held. This year, however, a new threat to free and fair elections has emerged: the federal government itself. The Trump administration has launched a concerted drive to undermine American elections.

Full disclosure on the source:

People's World traces its lineage to the Daily Worker newspaper, founded by communists, socialists, union members, and other activists in Chicago in 1924. On the front page of its first edition, the paper declared that "big business interests, bankers, merchant princes, landlords, and other profiteers" should fear the Daily Worker. It pledged to "raise the standards of struggle against the few who rob and plunder the many."

The publication has gone through a number of nameplates and mastheads over the years, but that same tradition of fighting, working-class journalism continues.

Quoting a fine DR poster, swallow it.

Damn. I don't think I've ever had a story promoted so quickly. But the original source is more fun.

Fair and "white fair" are two different distinctions.

^ Exactly, and what is going on in Abbottistan now is "white fair," where Abbott, that bastard, is killing two birds with one stone, by both ballpolishing Trump and also diluting further black and Latino voters.

Abbottistan is the most corrupt state in the USA BY FAR.

We knew elections wouldn't be fair or free once Trump was back in office.

Every accusation is a confession with these people and all the incessant nonsense about StOlEnZ ElEcTShUmNS!! was pure nonsense signaling their intentions.

And you have idiots like ballwasher lapping it up.

Election results in this country need to open and transparent so everyone can see, and Trump is in the Epstein Files.

It's expected. It's a left leaning source. What do you expect it's "findings" to be? You think if the findings were the opposite, it would even be reported on?

It is what it is, just the world we live in today.

Then there are things like this ...

Trump may be off the hook for his 2020 election plot, but his allies aren't
www.politico.com

... The criminal cases against his fake electors have been bogged down in delays. But prosecutors are trying to keep the charges alive. ...

Donald Trump's victory in 2024 largely shattered the efforts to prosecute him for his efforts to subvert the 2020 election.

But dozens of his allies still face state-level criminal charges for their roles in the plot. The five cases against them have plodded along for years, mired in procedural gridlock, prosecutorial bungles and appellate review.

None of those cases is anywhere near a trial, yet they all remain pending -- a state of legal limbo that exemplifies the nation's halting struggle to reckon with, and achieve accountability for, Trump's failed bid to seize a second term despite Joe Biden's victory nearly five years ago. ...
