The war for democracy in Pennsylvania
Looks like the Tucker/Greenwald Father Coughlin Hour is making a serious push to steal the gubernatorial and (if necessary) Senate elections in Pennsylvania:
It's not hard to see where this is going: https://t.co/1LuJWJqyQS
1. Trump "plans to challenge" the Philly vote
2. Tucker says Dem win in PA would be fraudulent
3. Cruz raising doubts about PA taking too long to count
4. Mastriano says that's "an attempt to have the fix in." pic.twitter.com/E1K8DRPycy— Matthew Gertz (@MattGertz) October 27, 2022
It should be added that the gerrymandered Republican legislature has deliberately chosen to sabotage the electoral counting process to facilitate this attack on democracy:
It takes Pennsylvania a long time to count votes because the Republican state legislature will not allow early votes to be counted or even pre-canvassed until Election Day. Then right wingers use that legislature-required delay as evidence of something nefarious. It's ridiculous. https://t.co/odT03Yqw2W— James Surowiecki (@JamesSurowiecki) October 27, 2022
They’re not being subtle, and yet I really don’t think the political press is prepared for this.
