The dangerous and insidious lie about voter fraud persists as Donald Trump lays the groundwork to challenge the integrity of this year's election results as well.

Today, the New York Times has some alarming and exhaustive new reporting on Donald Trump's campaign to tip the scales, rooted in the very same debunk conspiracy theories he's been peddling for years.

That includes 19 official actions Trump has taken to question previous results, which began

with granting clemency for nearly 1,600 charged insurrectionists while brazenly

installing election deniers in the federal government. At least 15 actions to fire, indict,

or revoke security clearances

for people who have worked against the election denialism movement, 21 actions to tighten

voting restrictions designed to tip the scales in his favor, and 14 actions to nationalize

elections, many of which have failed in court. But as the New York Times reports,

quote, while many of Trump's directives have been blocked or delayed by the courts, election experts

say that their potential harm remains significant and that some of the efforts have already

eroded faith in the process. Do you agree that we are covering in real time and assault on our

elections, the upcoming ones? I'm very concerned of what's going to happen in the next election. It's a different situation

now based on, you know, the people who perpetrated January 6th, they've probably learned from

how they did that. My personal view is, I think, the state attorney generals have a tremendous

role to play here.

They can make sure the rule of law functions in their state.

And I would also say that I think a thing that all of us can do is support election workers

and election officials.

From my perspective, I've seen a number of cases, James Comey, Letitia James, Jerome Powell,

I mean, right?

There's not criminality here.
