If he loses, well, that’s because it is rigged. “The only way Democrats can win is to cheat,” bellows Donald Trump from the campaign stumps. A CNN poll showed one-third of Americans and two-thirds of Republicans believe Trump’s lie that Joe Biden stole the 2020 elections. Almost all elected Republican congressmen denied Biden’s victory.
The attempt to subvert the 2020 election culminated with Trump supporters attacking the Capitol on January 6. Still, it was amateurish, with the absurd press conference by Trump’s discredited, elderly lawyer-loyalist Rudy Giuliani grandstanding about voter fraud—while black hair dye dripped down his sweaty face. Giuliani was bankrupted and disbarred for peddling those lies. But 2024 is different. This time, Trump’s “election-fraud” campaign is well-planned, well-orchestrated and well-funded. Rightwing organisations are suing, smearing and challenging ballot procedures, rolls and voter eligibility, especially in swing states.
