Malcolm Nance Warns Mitch McConnell Is Trying To End Free And Fair Elections In America


When counterterrorism expert Malcolm Nance speaks, the country should listen.

That was particularly true on Saturday as Nance sounded the alarm about Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s latest effort to block a package of election security bills.

During a discussion with MSNBC’s Joy Reid, Nance said that if Russia successfully attacks the 2020 election – which McConnell is already helping make possible – then “it may be the last free and fair election” in the United States.

“You can actually see the political machinations, where one person is deciding whether American elections from now on and before will be free and fair,” Nance said.

Nance said:

You can actually see the political machinations, where one person and a cabal of others are deciding whether American elections from now on or even before will be free and fair. This is not just voter suppression. We may have a circumstance where the electoral process is directly attacked, where foreign actors, whether it is North Korean intelligence, which has very robust cyber warfare capability and it’s in their interest to keep Donald Trump in office, the Chinese or again, Vladimir Putin and his entire Russian organ. The Republican Party defends them. They do not stand for the Constitution of the United States. If they attack this election, it may be the last free and fair election that we go into, which may come out with a corrupt result, which could fracture this nation.

Mitch McConnell is the enemy of free and fair elections

We’ve known for some time that it was Mitch McConnell, not Barack Obama, who refused to take a unified approach to fight Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

All of this is happening in plain view, and the consequences for American democracy have been and will continue to be disastrous.

1. It's Moscow Mitch, but it's also ALL cowardly republicans

They are cowering in fear, refusing to stand up for this country and our Democracy, and so they too are responsible. Moscow Mitch couldn't do what he's doing without the complicity of ALL cowardly republicans in the House and Senate.

2. Destruction of our free and fair elections

would be the final nail in the coffin of our democratic republic. We don’t have any more chances after 2020.

3. Why is he afraid to say the last election in 2016 was not free and fair?

Or maybe he did. I though he said 2020 would be the last election we expect to be 'fair and free'
going into it (but that it may not be in the end). Well same with the last general election.

4. If Malcolm Nance says it, I believe it.

One of the smartest, most well-spoken people I've ever seen on TV.

[FiveGoodMen]

5. And yet, we can't seem to stop it

Or even slow it down.

Or even get most of the nation to agree that it's a problem.

[treestar]

6. Pressure state officials and representatives

since the states run the elections.

[triron]

12. That last point is a huge huge problem for democracy.

If voters are misinformed or apathetic, we are doomed.

[Jacoby365]

7. Investigate McConnell!!

For his refusal to secure our elections and for the Russian money flowing into his state. Are the two related?

[CrispyQ]

8. The GOP is playing for keeps & they have been playing the long game,

lying, cheating, & stealing cuz it's the only way they can win & they know it.

[uponit7771]

9. They don't believe Obama won fair and square !!!! So cheating is fair game

[GoCubsGo]

10. It has long been obvious to anyone who has been paying attention.

He needs to be in prision.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

11. Moscow Mitch and the Russiapublicans are our biggest threat

The GOP poses an existential threat to the U.S.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. 2020 is it, folks. . . . nt

[yaesu]

14. the entire fascist GOP has been trying to do that for decades. nt

[defacto7]

15. We've already seen the last free and fair election in this country

some time back. What we are trying to do is keep it from becomming permanent and to restore what we've already lost.

[triron]

16. You bet.

17. Filed under: "Shit we already knew"

[Amaryllis]
