THE BIGGEST THREAT TO OUR ELECTIONS IS THE MAN WHO WANTS TO “CONTROL” THEM — DONALD J TRUMP 🚨 When our nation’s intelligence agencies put together a report on the impact foreign governments and actors had on the 2020 elections, they broke down the results into two categories: ✅ There was ELECTION INTERFERENCE — targeting “the technical aspects of the election, including voter registration, casting and counting ballots, or reporting results.” ✅ And there was ELECTION INFLUENCE — defined as efforts “to affect directly or indirectly a US election—including candidates, political parties, voters or their preferences, or political processes.” The authors of that March 2021 National Intelligence Council report were pretty clear about which category was more consequential. Their first “Key Judgment”—the very first substantive sentence of the assessment—is that “We have no indications that any foreign actor attempted to alter any technical aspect of the voting process in the 2020 US elections, including voter registration, casting ballots, vote tabulation, or reporting results.” It’s worth considering these lines in light of Donald Trump’s constant rehashing of old, unsubstantiated claims of foreign election interference: he is actively engaging in an act of domestic election influence. Put more bluntly, Trump uses the bully pulpit to undermine U.S. elections in ways that no other president has—in ways that adversarial governments could only dream of. Foreign INTERFERENCE isn’t the threat. Domestic, Donald J Trump-led INFLUENCE is. 📸: The Bulwark

Exactly! Because the Democrats are notorious for cheating.
