Trump has no plan to combat election interference

Maybe he doesn’t want to combat interference since it helped him in 2016.

Current and former officials tell @NBCNews that 19 months into his presidency, there is no coherent Trump administration strategy to combat foreign election interference — and no single person or agency in charge. https://t.co/zlqCJaQIkI

For the first time since the Russians hacked the 2016 election, Trump held a meeting about election security. It lasted less than an hour. https://t.co/e7U48riMm1 pic.twitter.com/0XJLGfg76Y

Besides being unwilling to use the word “Russia” (Voldemort!), the Trump meeting only focused on 1) voting machines security.

Just as important are 2) security of voter database and election reporting, 3) protection of body politic from foreign government info ops

Voter purges are increasing

Republicans are responsible for this.

Republicans understand the power of our votes so they constantly try to disenfranchise voters of color. We know that our democracy is stronger when every eligible American has the opportunity to make their voice heard. https://t.co/gxowuXNWZJ

Yet I am fairly certain inequality in *region* increased. Much of the income growth comes from surrounding counties. Segregation, lack of transit to opportunity, education (and resultant high crime) are all factors keeping the region from going to top spot h/t @briangaither https://t.co/nzlUKgjf9b

States are struggling to protect the 2020 elections

President Donald Trump on Friday promised an intense, “whole-of-government” focus on securing the nation’s elections from cyberattacks — but a POLITICO survey of states finds ample reasons to worry about both this year’s midterms and 2020.

The Stand your ground laws

If a “stand your ground” law is in place, someone can use up to lethal force even if he can safely retreat while under imminent threat.
