Election subversion update

In the primaries last Tuesday, Republican election subversion supporters in four states are poised to take control if they win the upcoming general election in November. The New York Times writes:

In 4 Swing States, G.O.P. Election Deniers Could Oversee Voting

With Tuesday’s primary victories in Arizona and Michigan added to those in Nevada and Pennsylvania, Republicans who have disputed the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election and who could affect the outcome of the next one are on a path toward winning decisive control over how elections are run in several battleground states.

Each has spread falsehoods about fraud and illegitimate ballots, endorsing the failed effort to override the 2020 results and keep former President Donald J. Trump in power. Their history of anti-democratic impulses has prompted Democrats, democracy experts and even some fellow Republicans to question whether these officials would oversee fair elections and certify winners they didn’t support.

There is no question that victories by these candidates in November could lead to sweeping changes to how millions of Americans vote. Several have proposed eliminating mail voting, ballot drop boxes and even the use of electronic voting machines, while empowering partisan election observers and expanding their roles.

The 2022 general election will be a test run for election subversion measures by the fascist Republican Party. If their measures do not deliver adequate results, there is will be focused efforts to improve on the Republican version of “election integrity.” That effort will be greatly aided by the Supreme Court decision in the pending Moore v. Harper case, which is due by the end of next June.

What the Republican Party wants is obvious: Elections must have so much integrity that Democrats can never again control state legislatures, major state offices, including governorships, the House of Representatives, the Senate, the White House and the Supreme Court.  

Iron-fisted single party rule is the Republican vision of satisfactory election integrity.
