Trump is going full out declaring that, if he looses, it will be because of voter fraud. He says, over and over, that the election is rigged. Paul Ryan has one of his campaigners say it isn't rigged. Here's the thing. The Republican Party has laid the ground work for Trump's declaration for years. Going back to the 2012 Presidential election and all the GOP's efforts to institute voter id's because claiming voter fraud that didn't in fact exist. Voter fraud is phoney, it's not an issue!
In 2012 the GOP effort was explicitly directed at African American voters. It hit the elderly too.
Again, it's a two-fer. Voter fraud and African American suppression.
The Republican Party set up what Trump ahs taken to the Nth degree. Again, it's up to the Republican Party to correct their mistakes that are undermining democracy.
