Call the D o J, any Democratic Senator or Congress Critter, and the White House.
This is a coup. Trump is a crook and a con man and we must stop him.
Look who Trump wants to head the Department of Homeland Security? Kris Kobach. The
same person who wrote "Crosscheck" a program that allowed Trump to steal the White House.
Photo Shows Potential Trump DHS Pick Kris Kobach Seems to Have Hardline Plan Ready
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach has already laid out his plan for overhauling of the nation's immigration system, and it includes many of president-elect Donald Trump's most prominent and controversial campaign priorities, including reinstating an immigrant tracking system and questioning "high risk" immigrants about their views on Sharia law and jihad.

Before a single vote was cast, the election was fixed by GOP and Trump operatives.
Starting in 2013 just as the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act a coterie of Trump operatives, under the direction of Kris Kobach, Kansas Secretary of State, created a system to purge 1.1 million Americans of color from the voter rolls of GOPcontrolled states.
The system, called Crosscheck, is detailed in my Rolling Stone report,
The GOPs Stealth War on Voters, 8/24/2016.
Crosscheck in action:
Trump victory margin in Michigan: 13,107
Michigan Crosscheck purge list: 449,922
Trump victory margin in Arizona: 85,257
Arizona Crosscheck purge list: 270,824
Trump victory margin in North Carolina: 177,008
North Carolina Crosscheck purge list: 589,393
On Tuesday, we saw Crosscheck elect a Republican Senate and as President, Donald Trump. The electoral putsch was aided by nine other methods of attacking the right to vote of Black, Latino and Asian-American voters, methods detailed in my book and film, including Caging, purging, blocking legitimate registrations, and wrongly shunting millions to provisional ballots that will never be counted.

(1,019 posts)all converged to benefit tRump in spite of all the facts that supported a Clinton victory. And she won by almost 3 million votes so that whole "she wasn't liked" or "she's a flawed candidate" bullshit is wrong. She was prepared, she won the debates, ppl received her message and they showed up and voted for her. The system failed her.
