It’s not about arguments. It’s about facts.
I know one great fact about American elections, and I know it because the Republican Party has proved it to me:
There is no election fraud of any consequence anywhere in the United States.
The Republican Party and its allies, FOR DECADES, have been searching high and low, in every corner of our country, for evidence of election fraud.
This effort has been made with vast sums of money and other resources, and with some of the greatest powers in our nation at the party’s disposal:
A presidential commission under President Donald Trump.
The Department of Justice under President Donald Trump, armed with the resources of the FBI, and the powers of subpoena.
Committees of Congress under Republican control, also armed with the powers of subpoena and the investigative resources of the first branch of government.
State legislatures under Republican control, also with subpoena powers, have launched similar efforts to find evidence of election fraud.
Republican-controlled states have set up special commissions and task forces, some with subpoena powers, all well-funded and with access to the state’s electoral systems.
Conservative academics and think tanks have launched projects seeking out evidence of election fraud.
Fox News and the rest of MAGA media have dedicated significant resources to finding evidence of election fraud.
What is the result of this enormous Republican effort to find election fraud?
Ask The Heritage Foundation.
For nearly a decade, Heritage has maintained an “Election Fraud Database.”
The database contains “proven instances of election fraud.”
It covers elections going back nearly fifty years.
That’s billions and billions of American votes.
Right now, the total number of proven instances of election fraud that Heritage can document is:
1620.
That’s an infinitesimal number, vanishingly small, and it is solid proof of two things:
1. Some individuals commit election fraud.
2. There is no evidence at all of systemic or even widespread election fraud anywhere in the USA.
The election-fraud panic is the Big Lie of our time.
It is peddled by people who know better. Their own investigations over decades demonstrate that.
Stop trying to subvert our democracy.

How did Donald Trump give himself, his family, and their businesses a Super Pardon for all their crimes, back taxes, fines, and other payments due to the federal government?
Meet Todd Blanche, Trump’s personal criminal defense lawyer now assigned to the Department of Justice, who gave his boss and former client, Donald Trump, a family-sized stack of get-out-of-jail-free cards.
Forget the hype and the distortion. The leader of this nation is demonstrably incompetent and criminally venal. There is nothing subtle about a man who posts cartoons late at night while our military is within lethal range. https://t.co/m0EfzCfTWU
Generation after generation, men and women put on the uniform knowing the risk — and went anyway knowing they might not come home. Knowing their families would carry that for the rest of their lives.
To the families still carrying that weight — I see you. The pain doesn’t go away, but neither does the pride.
Freedom has never been guaranteed. It has to be earned, defended, and sometimes paid for in the hardest way imaginable. Today on Memorial Day, we stop, we slow down, and we remember those who did.
We honor them.
We thank them.
And we work hard to live up to what they died for. Keep the democracy they believed in worth believing in. That is the ultimate tribute for their sacrifice.
On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.
Stop pretending this is about cracking down on fraud when Trump literally let people who stole hundreds of millions in Medicare and Medicaid money walk free. One guy stole $1.3 billion and served 14 months of a 20-year sentence. When a reporter asked the DOJ about it, they refused to answer.
That’s the hypocrisy people are angry about. Republicans want to talk tough on fraud while protecting the biggest fraudsters when they’re politically connected. If fraud is wrong, then it should be wrong for everyone.
@Kasparov63@JohnJHarwood Cowardice, complete lack of integrity and any sense of personal responsibility will be the downfall of our nation. It’s a deplorable thing to do witness.
Our Democracy is deeply broken when someone can spend $33 million in a House primary because the guy didn’t submit to protecting billionaire pedophiles.
From helping to bury the Epstein files to creating a $1.8 BILLION taxpayer funded slush fund for Trump's allies, Todd Blanche has been at the center of some of this administration's most corrupt schemes.
Today, I'm digging into these abuses of power⬇️
Epstein survivors have released a statement in response to Blanche testimony. They say, “Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has not met with any of us.”
Today, Blanche got very offended when I called him out for continuing to act like Trump's personal attorney.
Now, we learn he quietly signed a deal to bar the IRS from EVER reexamining Trump's, his family's, or his companies' prior taxes. How does this serve the American people?

Trump’s DOJ just “permanently” barred itself from pursuing all tax claims against Trump, his family, or his businesses.
Trump’s criminal defense lawyer, now his Acting AG Todd Blanche, signed the order.
This is pure corruption. What are they hiding?
So we can donate $ 1B for the whorehouse and another $ .7B to the TrumpThugs to burn it down to collect on the insurance? Or does he just pocket it all and laugh it off? We are in uncharted criminal territory folks.
The redistricting chaos we’re seeing in AL, FL, LA, TN, and VA is something #SCOTUS knowingly enabled, and it belies both the putative purpose of the “Purcell principle” and the Court’s repeated insistence that it’s staying out of the political process:
