Trump's desperate assault on 2020's popular vote has drawn justifiable contempt. But had this election predominantly been conducted on the computerized touchscreen machines that have dominated our electoral process since Florida in 2000, Trump could well be headed for a stolen second term.

For Donald Trump's GOP followers, the real issue in the 2020 election is democracy itself. They want it abolished. Their primary allies are the Coronavirus, state legislatures like those in Ohio and Wisconsin, and the US Supreme Court. The campaign just hit a new level in Wisconsin.

Every four years we suffer the sad ritual of begging or bashing a left third party to refrain from draining votes from the mainstream Democrats because of a horrendous Republican alternative. And every four years the real point election theft is missed.

Donald Trump is in power in large part because Democrats have repeatedly conceded elections they really won. On Tuesday, that MUST change. Anyone deemed a close loser MUST fight. Every tally must be contested, every denial challenged, all missing ballots found, every provisional honored.

The US Supreme Court (by the usual 5-4) has certified Ohio's Jim Crow stripping of more than a million mostly black and Hispanic citizens from the 2018 voter registration rolls. Unless the Democrats effectively respond, a GOP victory in the 2018 midterm election may be a done deal.

The nine "Justices" have just heard oral arguments in an Ohio voter registration case.

Attorney-General Jeff Sessions has confirmed the Russians hacked into as many as 39 state data bases, and did all they could to affect the electronic vote count that put Donald Trump in the White House.

SHARE Tuesday, February 7, 2017 Trump's Big Lie About 3 Million "Alien Voters" Cuts Far Deeper Than You Think
When it comes to undermining democracy in the US, Trump is once again proving that the best defense is a total attack.
by claiming so many non-citizens voted more than once, Trump re-loads America's Jim Crow lynch laws against Black people voting. Based on these assertions, we can expect more and more aggressive attacks by the administration against the rights of non-whites and non-millionaires to a fair and honest ballot.

If we're to have meaningful elections in the future, they must be conducted on paper ballots that are held at their precincts in transparent containers that do not move.

"Flipping" is related to electronic voting machines, on which the vast majority of Americans will vote this fall. Nearly all these machines were bought with money from the 2002 Help America Vote Act, which came after the theft of the 2000 presidential election. Virtually all these machines are 10 years old or more, and can easily be hacked.

Why is the system here rigged? It starts with the fact that Jon Husted, a right-wing Republican and future gubernatorial hopeful, ran this election while visibly and actively campaigning against Issue 3 and threatening its proponents. This merits a thorough investigation of the Buckeye State's plans for the 2016 presidential election. The state does not need a repeat of the 2004 voting debacle.
