If you incite a riot, thats a crime. If you suborn perjury, thats a crime. And if you participate in a multi-state conspiracy to engage in election fraud thats definitely a crime. On Thursday evening, it became clear that Trumps campaign had attempted to get Wisconsin voters to contact Trump supporters in Pennsylvania with the apparent goal of adding late submissions to the stack of mail-in ballots. It seems like a pointless effort, as ballots postmarked after Election Day are not valid. Unless, of course, the goal was really just to throw another monkey wrench into Pennsylvanias counting by claiming that election authorities are not properly filtering out late ballots.
But if that seems a little too complicated, this isnt: Trump campaign officials and Minnesota Republicans are encouraging Trump supporters to make claims about ballot fraud, even when they have no evidence of ballot fraud, with promises that the campaign and the RNC will back them up.
As the Minnesota Reformer reports, Minnesota GOP chair Jennifer Carnahan appeared on an invite-only Zoom meeting with Republican activists on Thursday night, and told them that the party would back their play if they made claims of ballot fraud, even if there was no basis for those claims. And Carnahan made it clear she didnt mean just local support. In fact, she told the Trump activists, this wasnt a Minnesota thing, but a plan from Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel.
According to Carnahan, McDaniel put out a request for GOP officials around the country to recruit Republicans to make false claims of ballot fraud. She made it clear the party would amplify any claims of ballot fraud, as part of a plan to back Trumps false claims.
