Will the 2020 election ever be over? Will the Republicans ever accept it if they lose a future presidential election?
What they’re doing based on non-existent fraud is wrong and dangerous.

Impact of Georgia phony election fraud claims
Trump has been supposedly been banned by Twitter but his enablers and flacks keep tweeting his "statements" that sound like tweets. So it seems he's found a work-around.

Michigan Republicans find no voter fraud
This won’t sit well with Trump or his cult. Maybe they’ll storm the Michigan state house again. The bad news is Republicans want to use the unfounded claims to make it harder to vote.
Michigan Republican legislators issued a report finding no widespread fraud and Biden won. The only “audit” Republicans will accept is the one showing Trump won https://t.co/EeuLWjhMjF

The phony Arizona audit
Do you really think the phony audit will find there was no fraud? They already decided there was fraud before they started. Other states are visiting them and this attempt to overturn the election is spreading. https://t.co/NaQPfdamt4

Dead voters for Trump
Two people are known to have voted for dead people in 2020.

One guy in PA voted for his dead mom.
One guy in CO is accused of murdering his wife, and then voting for her.
Both voted their dead relatives for Trump.
In summary, his statement is a total lie. pic.twitter.com/0GLsjSPura
Amazing poll on election fraud vs. voter suppression
The fraud issue is made up. Voter suppression by Republicans is real. This shows how big the divide is between the two parties. Unity will not be possible with splits like this where one side believes nonsense.
Which do you think is a bigger problem in US elections: voter fraud or voter suppression via Quinnipiac poll:
— Ryan Struyk (@ryanstruyk) April 15, 2021
Democrats:
84% suppression
13% fraud
Republicans:
11% suppression
82% fraud
Trump’s big lie will lead to voter suppression
There was no widespread fraud in 2020 but Republican’s will use Trump’s lie to suppress votes. They have already submitted over 100 bills in state legislatures.
From voter ID laws to limiting mail-in ballots, Republican lawmakers in 33 states are considering 165 different laws that would make it harder to vote. @janestreet explains the Republican's effort to restrict access to the ballot box. – @NBCNewsNOW https://t.co/bzJHtqfBaX

Update from @BrennanCenter on accelerating GOP attempts to roll back voting rights post 2020: "Thirty-three states have introduced, prefiled, or carried over 165 restrictive bills this year (as compared to 35 such bills in fifteen states on February 3, 2020)." https://t.co/Xxfz5aMrrq

Great point by @abbydphillip: GOP Senators can't admit that Trump's fraud claims are a lie b/c GOP is using it in states to justify new wave of voter suppression laws-even as they prepare for severe gerrymanders. The question of whether majority can rule is under historic threat

We may be tired, but will again need to rally to protect our democracy in court.
The GOP is all in on rolling back voting rights post 2020. Only question is whether Ds will be as committed to protecting & expanding voting rights by using what could be a brief window of national leverage to pass #HR1 & new #VRA. It’s their most consequential decision. https://t.co/V9qpZMF6q1
