The assertion from Chris LaCivita at a Politico event is notable given former President Donald Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Yeah …I read a really good book ironically titled “How Trump Stole the 2020 Election” that spends most of its time exposing all of the voter expulsion and how it’s primarily targeting dense democratic leaning areas. The current Governor of Georgia won by less than 100,000 votes but as the Secretary of State he purged 400,000 legitimate registered voters.
Let’s put aside the fact that as the Secretary of State his job was to add registered voters… The game plan was to send a postcard that look like junk mail with lots of tiny legalese meant to be discarded. Essentially if someone didn’t vote on two consecutive elections and lived in a “transient” location they were deregistered.
Moreover - fewer registration sites means the remaining ones have to deal with more voters, meaning they will be busier and more hectic, meaning more mistakes will happen. The “fewer sites = fewer mistakes” argument only works if the only “mistake” you care about is someone registering who shouldn’t and don’t think someone who should being unable to registe is a problem.
I didn’t think this was possible, but Chris LaCivita might be an even more disgusting deceptive bullshitter than the orange asshole he’s advising
Also, make no mistake - the Republicans will be trying to steal this election
Are…they will be tol but they currently are trying too
Already election tampering… Trump is suing Michigan to block voter registration sites…
…How?

I can’t find a picture of the form but here’s a story on it …https://www.apmreports.org/story/2018/10/19/georgia-voter-purge
I think the bad logic here is that the more sites there are the more likely one of them is improperly follow procedures.
As if a few improper registrations invalidate the thousands of other legitimate ones.

Convicted criminals aren’t allowed to vote…hmmmmmm
