This is the Tom Hartman program.

MAGA Group, true the vote is working with sheriffs to monitor dropboxes.

That's the headline over a talking points memo.com

this morning

uh... the election denying activist group with ties to Donald Trump true the

vote is asking sheriffs across the country to monitor ballot dropboxes.

Here's the strategy.

It's very straightforward.

The places where dropboxes most often proliferate.

Excuse me. Prol proliferate are big cities. And big cities

tend to have larger minority populations than rural areas. So if you've got a white guy with a gun and a badge sitting next to a dropbox, some people

of color will be sufficiently intimidated that they'll drive up and then just drive away without stopping to

drop off their ballot. They might be concerned that you know he's a

vigilante. They may be concerned that he's going to be you know stopping them and looking for

some excuse to beat him up or kill uh... they might be concerned that he's

trying to that he's there to steal a ballots out of the dropbox

but uh... you know know, this is the plan to try to suppress the vote because

Republicans don't want people to vote. It's just that simple. The Republicans don't even believe

in elections. You know, they try even believe in elections.

They're trying to screw up elections.

They believe in gerrymandering.

They believe in rigging the system, basically.
