SEVERAL court cases filed by Trump's lawyers failed to prove voter fraud in the 2020 presidential race.
#DNI #TulsiGabbard, who launched an investigation into the #VotingMachines & searched for evidence to support Trump's false election fraud claims, steps down on Friday. Stepping in as interim director is federal housing regulator #BillPulte. #Trump has said he wants Pulte to investigate “rigged elections” during his time at #ODNI.

Some #WhiteHouse officials have argued the report could undermine voter confidence, particularly among #Republicans. Others have said they do not believe the report goes far enough in supporting Trump’s false claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged, the sources said. Some #Democrats said privately they worried #TulsiGabbard’s probe into #VotingMachines would be used by the admin to push states to use paper ballots.

The report, produced by the #ODNI [oh boy, that’s now #BillPulte], concludes that #VotingMachines could be further safeguarded by, for example, updating their software, the sources said. It does NOT say the vulnerabilities have led to votes flipping, but examines security gaps in how the machines are used during #US #elections.

#WhiteHouse delays release of #US #voting machine study as #midterms near
[probably because it says machine counts are exceedingly more accurate than human counts — which is the opposite of Trump’s BS #ConspiracyTheories]

#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. This is #gaslighting, pure and simple, from a woman whose judgement led her to marry #EricTrump—known by all to be the dumbest #Trump.

#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.#law

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.

When the #Fascists Arrive Holding Hands With the #Oligarchs.
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?
