Let’s be clear about this: the voting “reforms” the GOP has rammed through in numerous states have no justification in any showing of “fraud,” and are intended to make voting more difficult for minorities and other economically disadvantaged people. The Democrats are right to complain loudly about them, and to attempt to reverse them. That said, do they really matter that much? Would an otherwise clean election with those “reforms” in place be illegitimate?
All of the available evidence suggests that the “reforms” will only make a difference in an extremely tight election. The answer to the questions is no.
But what about other potential efforts to steal the election? I will address them throughout the week.
