“The final and most powerful check on Donald Trump has always been, and will always be, the ballot box. The president knows this, and that is why he has now turned his attention to the election system.”

That is why Trump told his cult members that if they voted for him, they would never have to vote again. Trump will never willingly give up power. The sooner we remove him from office, the better it will be for the nation and the world.
He’s already manipulated the ballot, his puppet army has purged over 4 million from the 2024 election with the blessings of the Supreme Court and many more will be for the 2026 election.
I fear that will probably be too late.
He's not going to leave office without force, IMO.
At this point, he's seems well protected indefinitely. They are busy making sure elections are suppressed.
Scary.
May the WORST MAN WIN! It's amazing that a president and his party have to corrupt the system, disenfranchise voters and cheat to win. That doesn't sound like the kind of leader I or Any American should want.
Even back in 2015 when he was whining about rigged elections, the GOP was gerrymandering districts, armed protesters were standing outside election voting locations terrorizing the people going inside, and locating polling locations far from the homes of people likely to vote Democrat.
He’s not gonna be around that long. This is Project 2025. We should avoid the Republican Party at all costs! Dems need to address this quickly and put it down.
This is not new. First they gerrymandered and essentially got away with it. Then they stacked the courts. Now they are emboldened and going after women and the less than wealthy.
It seems to me that this would affect his own voters more than Democrats. His red, poorer, less educated districts will be constrained by these restrictions disproportionately.
Thoughts?
Republicans are doing a good job to obstruct and damage elections everywhere.
For example, if a woman needs to get a passport to vote, remember the post offices that provide passports have already been hit hard. There was recently a 2 hour line for passports at a local post office where I live.
Pick your battlefield. Trump destroying the economy or Trump destroying democracy. He's already destroyed our standing among nations and our self respect.
GOP has been preventing people from voting their entire existence. Between lying, repeating those lies over and over again (party of fiscal responsibility ie) and working for the richest among us while claiming they work for the working class, it has become a cult of chaos and cruelty.
Didn't he already do that? Remember, he admitted that Musk knows those computers and voting machines and fixed it where he could win the swing states, especially PA.
For Trump, that is the allure of Martial Law.
The "Next election" (2026) simply won't happen.
Explains why Republicans are not fearing the next election.
This is not possible for most. I just had to do a passport for my kid. It's hundreds of dollars. It's effectively a poll tax. And then they have reduced budgets and personnel. So there is not enough people to issue passports anyway. How convenient.

You are presupposing there will be an election.
I'm a cynic, as you can tell.

Scary.
At this point, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised, if this was just slight of hand.

Elections will be for show only, just like the ones Putin has where he wins 99% of the vote all the time. 🙄
