NYT: Trump Regrets Not Seizing Voting Machines After 2020 Election [[link removed]]
No sugar-coating this, John. President Trump said during a recent interview with The New York Times that he regretted not ordering the National Guard to seize voting machines in swing states after his loss in the 2020 election. In his own words:
“ Well, I should have. I don’t know that they [the National Guard] are sophisticated enough. You know, they’re good warriors. I’m not sure that they’re sophisticated enough in the ways of crooked Democrats, and the way they cheat, to figure that out. ”
Let's review the facts. Alleged mail-in ballot fraud was rigorously investigated, using millions of taxpayer dollars, resulting in few actual court cases -- most notably a man in Pennsylvania who returned his deceased mother's ballot for Donald Trump . Lies were repeatedly spread against voting machine manufacturer Dominion Voting Systems, resulting in $78 million in damages settled in a defamation case brought by Dominion against Fox News. Despite years of effort by hysterical MAGA partisans, no valid proof of any misdeeds relating to the 2020 election has been brought to light.
This is a big red warning sign for our elections coming up and our fight for voting rights in general. If the sitting president still can't accept defeat years later after winning another election and returning to power, what makes us think he'll accept election losses by his party in November?

This isn't the first time Trump has circled back to 2020. In the week before this New York Times interview, he continued to push the claim that Dominion machines had been rigged against him on social media.
He's also weaponized the federal budget to cut funding for a key weather research facility in Colorado, all because he issued a nonbinding presidential pardon for a state-level crime. A former Colorado county clerk is serving a nine-year prison sentence on state charges of tampering with Dominion machines in an effort to prove that they were used in a plot against Mr. Trump. They weren't, but MAGA sees her as a martyr for their cause and want her released.
President Trump has already spent his first term deploying the National Guard, under debatable legal authority, for his own purposes. There is little doubt that he'd try and use them again if he doesn't like the outcome of the midterms.
Opponents of voting rights want to protect their own power and won't accept lost elections as legitimate. Help us fight back with $35 or whatever you can to make every vote count and protect our crucial elections in November and beyond >> [[link removed]]

Integrity First Voter Action Project is dedicated to expanding ballot access and increasing voter participation across the country.
Since the Supreme Court gutted key provisions in the Voting Rights Act, extreme politicians have taken advantage to pass harsh laws that restrict access to the ballot box. These restrictions particularly affect disadvantaged communities and people of color. It’s our goal to bring awareness to these laws wherever they may crop up and organize voters to take action to ensure the right to vote is available to everyone in their states and communities.
