VOTER FRAUD

Carl believes millions of noncitizens vote illegally — Trump says they do! — risking prison and/or deportation to do so — just as a dear friend of mine believes he has communicated with aliens and flown on one of their spaceships.  (Seriously.  They picked him up at Mt. Shasta.)

I’m pretty sure both of them are mistaken.

Voter Fraud What You Should Know in under two minutes.

There is voter fraud — and surely more than leads to convictions.  But even if only one in 100 perpetrators is caught — so that the 1,620 cases cited in that video are really 162,000 cases spread over those 43 years — 3700 a year — it’s still effectively zero.  All the more so because of what our friends on the red team fail to acknowledge:  It is at least as often their voters and operatives who commit the fraud, not ours.

WHERE TO GIVE

Rob N.: “With so many candidates deluging us with requests, can you give advice on KEY races that would have the most impact?”

For talking back the House, A House United was built exactly for you.  Though I would argue that, now, while there’s still time for it to make a difference, much of your money should go to the “infrastructure” that all 8,000+ Democratic candidates rely on.  My favorite in that area is the much-maligned, much-misunderstood DNC.  Give here.

WHAT TO GIVE

John G.: “I just received my tax refund and it reminded me to suggest that you encourage your readers to use this windfall to make a contribution to the DNC. There is no more critical time than the present.”

→ Full disclosure: I do not know John.  Nor have I invented him or paid him in any way to send that note.  I just love him madly — as I will you, if you follow his lead.  The best form of polyamory.
