#LaraTrump claims that the #Democrats are promoting and defending various #electionLaws because they want to make it easier to cheat. But history establishes that in virtually every case of fraud, it's the #Republicans who are #cheating.

#Trump Says #HushMoney #Trial Shouldn’t Be About #ElectionInterference
Trump asked to block prosecutors from arguing at his upcoming #criminal trial that he tried to influence the 2016 election by paying to silence a porn star.
He also argued to bar #StormyDaniels from testifying as a govt #witness.
If successful, jurors will hear a narrative that hardly resembles the original case alleging Trump violated #ElectionLaws.

Close to 100,000 #Voter Registrations Were #Challenged in #Georgia — Almost All by Just Six #RightWing Activists
The recent transformation of the state’s #ElectionLaws explicitly enabled citizens to file unlimited challenges to other voters’ registrations. Experts warn that #election officials’ handling of some of those challenges may clash w/federal #law.

The Constitution’s Elections Clause “does not insulate state legislatures from the ordinary exercise of state judicial review,” Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. wrote in a 6 to 3 decision.
#SupremeCourt rejects theory that would have meant radical changes to #election rules
#SCOTUS on Tues rejected the theory that state legislatures have almost unlimited power to decide the rules for federal elections & draw partisan congressional maps w/o interference from state courts.

Once the #Nazis took power in #Germany they #bannedbooks, #outlawed #dragshows, and #homosexuality, changed #school #curricula to remove mention of their #atrocities in #WWI, and rewrote #electionlaws so they’d never again lose an election. Sound familiar?
