What if Trump was just a Beta Test of Crosscheck

and other Voter Suppression tactics?

"See, with Crosscheck and our other state-of-the-art voter suppression efforts, even a moron can get elected President"

I'm not a conspiracy nut, but it sure as hell seems like the ReTrumplican Party is not worried about losing power.

Maybe if you control a majority of State Legislatures, the Redistricting Process and the State and County Election Boards, you really can shoot someone in the face on 5TH Avenue and still retain political power.

Just something to think about.

or at least it shouldn't. We have all mail-in voting. And we're not gerrymandered into being a falsely red state. State law mandates how re-districting is done and it's pretty non-partisan. Sure there are safely blue districts, and some mostly safe red ones, though I think a couple of Repubs in our state delegation could be in trouble. At least I hope so.

Walker didn't win those elections, they cheated, and then this year Rs took it national.
