Trump and his chums learn to cheat on elections—Supreme Court helps them

By SJ Otto

In recent years, the Republican Party has found ways to bypass actual elections to win without the popular vote. So in the last few decades they have learned to manipulate the Electoral College system so that they win, without a majority of the vote.

Just recently the Supreme Court voted to protect the Electoral College. According to Yahoo News:

“The 538 people who cast the actual votes for president in December as part of the Electoral College are not free agents and must vote as the laws of their states direct, the Supreme Court ruled Monday.

The unanimous decision in the "faithless elector" case was a defeat for advocates of changing the Electoral College, who hoped a win would force a shift in the method of electing presidents toward a nationwide popular vote. But it was a win for state election officials who feared that empowering rogue electors would cause chaos.”

When it comes to democracy, few things are as undemocratic as the Electoral College. The institution was put together by the US founding fathers as a protection against the people who may elect someone who is undeserving. If the wrong person should get elected the college delegates can override what the people have voted for and they can vote in any person they decide on. In recent years the Republicans have been able to vote in their candidates without a majority of the votes. They simply put their candidates in states where they can win delegates without the popular votes a politician usually needs to win.

If all of this is not enough to piss of the public, Eric Trump has accused “Leftists” of censorship. According to the Trumps and most conservatives, all “Leftists” are criminals, on par with heroin dealers, child molesters and criminals in general. According to American Glory:

“President Trump’s son Eric appeared on Fox News Saturday night to warn viewers that the push towards mail-in voting was an obvious and dangerous attempt on the part of Democrats to steal the 2020 election. Trump said that Democrats were using the excuse of the coronavirus to put America on the path to a mail-in election – one that would give the left all the power they need to fudge the results using a variety of shady tools.

“Voter fraud is real and it is absolutely happening every single day,” Eric Trump warned. “And the Democrats don’t care. And the media wants to ignore it.”

As we see, Republicans are convinced they will lose elections if people have “mail-in voting.” It is apparent that Republicans are convinced they can’t manipulate the elections system if people can mail in their votes.

As we all have learned the only way Republicans can win elections is to cheat—and they are darn good at it.

So let’s stay on them and make it as hard as possible for them to win.
