The fixes in, Marc Elias says big trouble if you want to vote

The fix is in are my words but it’s very bad news.

Article written by somebody else but this is Elias website isn’t it?

So many millions who voted in prior elections will go to vote and not be able to now Most if not all overseas included.

Goes without saying almost all of it is unconstitutional but as we all know that doesn’t matter anymore

Is dead.

We don't have to revive it in its current form when the Regime falls.

We simply don't have to.

Thanks to Thom Hartmann and Greg Palast, I knew about a lot of this. It's physically sickening. Some people in my life who are diehard Democrats aren't fully taking this in yet--and I don't blame them because it's hard stuff. The idea that American diplomats abroad can no longer comment on the freedom and fairness of elections in other countries makes me just incredibly sad. They know in advance it would be hypocritical of us to call another nation's election unfree and unfair because, well, ours are about to become unfree and unfair.
