Afterthought:
I think Farron’s harping on the Hatch Act was a bit overboard, though it may (I am not a lawyer) be technically accurate. The lies of a lying liar is the primary issue.

The Voter Fraud Fraud 0
Maine’s Secretary of State, a Democrat who was on Donald Trump’s farcical Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, but who had to file suit to find out what it was doing, reports on his experience.
No summary or excerpt can do his story justice. Just follow the link.
The Voter Fraud Fraud 2
Elie Mystal gets to the nub of the Republican gut-out-the-vote movement:
Of course, up here in “evidence based” land, the black vote is the result of the Republican party’s ongoing strategy of ignoring black people and, latterly, being expressly racist towards black people in hopes of energizing racist white voters.
Much more at the link.

The Voter Fraud Fraud, Can’t Stand the Light of Day Dept. 0
The Maine Secretary of State, who is on Donald Trump’s voter fraud commission, has decided that he must file suit to find out what it is doing.
Words fail me.
Afterthought:
I have not lived in a state with a “Secretary of State.” I must confess that I am not exactly sure what a Secretary of State does. Then, again, I lived in Pennsylvania, which has prothonotaries, and I never figured out what they did either.

The Art of the Con(sequences) 0
Chuck Jones, head of the United Steel Workers Local 1999 at the Carrier plant where Trump famously (fatuously?) promised to stem the outsourcing of American jobs, realizes that he and many of his fellows were among the jobbed. A snippet:
“I don’t think he’s really going to come through, even though I hoped he would,” one laid-off worker told me.
“He pulled a bait-and-switch on us,” another said.
The irony is that anyone who knew anything–I don’t mean research, I mean a casual acquaintance with healines–about Trump’s record in business saw through the con from the beginning.
