| I'd recommend everyone read Josh Marshall's take on the latest twist in the case of the purged prosecutors (also discussed briefly below).
Interestingly, it appears at least part of the frustration by the Republicans who moved to purge was that the prosecutors in question weren't doing "enough" to "fight" voter "fraud." Why all the "scare quotes"? Because, as Josh Marshall explains, voter fraud is basically a specter, a rightwing talking point that rarely has even a tenuous connection in reality. The lack of prosecution, in fact, might just be a sign of a lack of evidence.
I raise this because some similar arguments are now being made for changing state law in Montana, especially regarding Election Day registration.
What's the problem here? Well, the big problem is that a lot of the people on the right have come to believe their own bullshit. That's a dangerous place to be. |
