I agree with Erick, too. Which only makes the elected GOP officials who are staying silent while the hucksters lie to the public more contemptible.

Stop and take note of this. A Republican senator said that the NYT op-ed is "just so similar to what so many of us hear from senior people around the White House, you know, three times a week."

. @BenSasse on the NYT op-ed: “I’m still processing it. It’s just so similar to what so many of us hear from senior people around the White House, you know, three times a week. So it’s really troubling, and yet in a way, not surprising.”

Conservatives incline to believe voter fraud stories. Liberals lean toward voter suppression. How often do we really dig into the details of a case and follow the facts where they lead? That’s what we did in a big case in Georgia.

It is completely unacceptable for any American's vote to be mishandled or not counted. Elections officials across the country know this & are working very hard to do their best. Pouncing on every mistake to claim fraud, w/o evidence, is harmful to democracy & discourages voting

Trump spokesman @mattwolking has deleted this tweet, but to Tim's point, the president's own spokesperson leveled the incredibly grave accusation -- w/o evidence -- that this incident was proof of a plot to to "steal an election" & this unsupported claim spread like wildfire

8 hours later, the Trump spokesman's instigating tweet—"Democrats are trying to steal the election"—is still posted, with 67,000 retweets/likes and counting. This sort of disinformation is going to get innocent people hurt.
