The voter intimidation is getting ugly. In Arizona, they’ve got guys with automatic weapons standing next to the dropboxes because it’s an open carry state. Would you take your family to drop off their votes if some guy with a gun was standing there? 🔊 gregpalast.podbean.com

Greg Palast knows what’s up: in addition to turning out the vote, we need to be hyperaware of these “challengers.” Trump has already made it abundantly clear that unless he wins, he won’t accept the outcome.

We’ve gone from 88 vigilantes in 1 state in 2022 to 44,000 vote challengers in dozens of states. If no one challenges the challengers, Biden's toast. This is the true danger to democracy in 2024. Our job is to make sure that the voters, not vigilantes, pick our President. 🔊 gregpalast.podbean.com

When JD Vance was asked in his first job interview, why do you want this job, he said, “the money”. That's speculator JD in a nutshell. While he previously said that Trump could become “America's Hitler,” he's now glad's to be Vice-Hitler. A feckless con-man.

It cannot be emphasized enough that you should be checking your voting status early and often with whatever dept in your state is in charge of voter registration. Because these wakkos are everywhere now.

Finally, the lame stream media has discovered that vigilante vote challenges are the big new threat. What they've missed is that it's spread from Georgia to a dozen other states.

Let's stop counting Biden's brain cells, and start counting vigilantes. In 2022, when True the Vote first launched their vigilante vote challenge scheme, they had 88 vigilantes in Georgia. Now they have an army of 44,000 operating in battleground states across the US.

Finally, the lame stream media has discovered that vigilante vote challenges are the big new threat. What they've missed is that it's spread from Georgia to a dozen other states.

GOP operatives are mass challenging literally hundreds of thousands of voters, and True The Vote has put out the call to get 100,000 volunteers to submit these challenges. They’re probably the most effective vote suppression organization since the KKK.

While it's tempting to pour Cointreau down our throats to celebrate the conviction of Agent Orange, let's not forget the jury found him guilty of crimes which we were all aware of before the 2016 election. Yet he won thru vote suppression tactics which may make his next election all but inevitable.

In a recent article, the New York Times reports on what they say is an “all but unnoticed effort” by Trump’s allies to challenge voters in critical battleground states. But it's only “unnoticed” because they've previously refused to cover it.
