No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen
Trump makes GENERATIONAL FUMBLE with major MISTAKE | Another Day
"If Democrats want us to stop talking about election fraud, I make them a simple deal. Pass the Save America Act and get voter ID and we'll stop talking about election fraud."
Just four months before the November midterm elections, Donald Trump dismissed all remaining commissioners on the Election Assistance Commission, the only federal agency devoted to election administration. This comes days after the Justice Department threatened criminal charges against state election officials over non-citizen voting, which multiple studies show is extremely rare. Trump's action is part of his push for the Save America Act, which he claims would prevent election losses for Republicans for 100 years by fundamentally transforming federal control over state-administered elections.
