Trump, of course, will cheat again

If Trump loses in November, is there any reason to believe he won't whine, and lie, and cheat, and try to steal the election just as he did in 2020?

Nope. Of course he will.

Team Trump is great at blaming others
 for what their fearless leader actually does

Because HE'S a cheater.

As a matter of fact, Trump has already been carefully orchestrating such a possibility with continual projection such as, "We have to make sure that we stop them from cheating, because they cheat like dogs."

One of his voter-fraud scapegoats appears to be off the table. Trump and his campaign, after claiming copious cheating from mail-ins (and early-voting) in 2020 and even calling such balloting "corrupt" just days ago have now embraced the practice after realizing it may benefit Trump ("We got to get out and vote. And you can start right away. You know that, right?" he implored at one of his rallies).

And following his infamous popular vote loss to Clinton in 2016, his ludicrous claims (including my favorite: "Sometimes they go to their car, put on a different hat, put on a different shirt, come in and vote again") were quietly ignored as the Trump-created "Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity" disbanded after only a few months--without any findings of voter fraud.

So, who is the voter-fraud boogeyman this time around? MAGA's ever-popular, ever-feared, ever-reviled, undocumented migrants. It's a great strategy, instead of the scattershot (and disproven) fraud accusations of 2020--Dominion, dead voters, voting twice, ballot dumps, etc.--just blame the group you've already villainized--immigrants.

Trump and Vance have already spread (and their followers have eagerly embraced) lies about immigrants, especially those in Ohio and Colorado. They say migrants are terrorists, and criminals, and they push the Hitleristic threat that migrants are "poisoning the blood of the country."

It's a seamless transition to Trump and his minions to baselessly (of course) promote that undocumented migrants are being let into the country so they will cast their votes for Democrats.

State GOP legislatures (including a proposed Constitutional amendment in my state of Wisconsin) are seeking to add xenophobic language to existing statutes to explicitly--and unnecessarily--say "only" citizens can vote (which, um, is already the law), and which may eventually require specific "citizen-proving" documentation that may be difficult to obtain and thus further disenfranchise voters. (There's a great piece from NBCNews here).

And, it appears, Trump's obedient and gullible devotees are already sowing the election fraud soil--claiming, for example, voters registered to an address don't exist (but, say the nuns, it's their home), or working to cast a dozen fraudulent ballots in Colorado.

You can bet that Trump's voter fraud megaphone will amp up considerably between now and election day (even longer than that if he loses). 

Why?

Because he cheats.

Vote Harris.
