3. Almost legal-like, vote purging.

Trump Lost. Voter Suppression Won.

Excerpt…

But if you’re expecting a sexy story about Elon Musk messing with vote-counting software from outer space, sorry, you won’t get that here.

As in Bush v. Gore in 2000, and in too many other miscarriages of Democracy, this election was determined by good old “vote suppression,” the polite term we use for shafting people of color out of their ballot. We used to call it Jim Crow.

Here are key numbers:

* 4,776,706 voters were wrongly purged from voter rolls according to US Elections Assistance Commission data.
* By August of 2024, for the first time since 1946, self-proclaimed “vigilante” voter-fraud hunters challenged the rights of 317,886 voters. The NAACP of Georgia estimates that by Election Day, the challenges exceeded 200,000 in Georgia alone.
* No less than 2,121,000 mail-in ballots were disqualified for minor clerical errors (e.g. postage due).
* At least 585,000 ballots cast in-precinct were also disqualified.
* 1,216,000 “provisional” ballots were rejected, not counted.
* 3.24 million new registrations were rejected or not entered on the rolls in time to vote.
