Mayhap a working weapon against the purveyors of piffle has been found.

Daniel Dale looks back on four years of tracking Trump’s lies. A nugget; follow the link for more:
It was, in sum, a lot. In September 2020, I had to abandon my effort to produce a comprehensive count of the false claims: Trump was doing so much lying during the campaign that I physically could not keep up. By then, I’d tallied about 9,000 false claims since September 2016.

The Voter Fraud Fraud 0
Jamelle Bouie looks at the long history of Republican attempts to gut out the vote and at the racism that underlies them. A snippet (emphasis added):
Not that this was a shock. As an accusation, “voter fraud” has been used historically to disparage the participation of Black voters and immigrants — to cast their votes as illegitimate.

To the conservative grass roots, Obama’s very presence in the White House was, on its face, evidence that fraud had overtaken American elections.
