Over 10 years later, Republicans are once again preparing for a critical Senate election in North Carolina. And they are tripling down on their old dirty tricks.
This time, their preferred candidate is Mike Whatley, a North Carolina lawyer and current RNC chair. Whatley campaigned for chair by convincing Trump that he would be more aggressive in attacking voting rights than his predecessor, Ronna McDaniel. And his tenure at the RNC was marked by prioritizing programs aimed at making it harder to vote and easier for Republicans to cheat if they disagree with the outcome.
Whatever is left of the cheese that is the legal and electoral system in the USA has more holes than cheese. And did so for a long time before even Trump 1.0.
Patriot Act? Florida recount 2000? Gerrymandering? The list goes on.
Frankly it’s a miracle it took so long for a POTUS to decide to take advantage of ALL the holes.
I’m not sure how this can be fixed before the next election. It probably can’t. And then what?
We’re already down the rabbit hole
