The Republican Party and its conservative allies are engaged in an unprecedented legal campaign targeting the American voting system. Their wide-ranging and methodical effort is laying the groundwork to contest an election that they argue, falsely, is already being rigged against former President Donald J. Trump.

The campaign involves a powerful network of Republican lawyers and activist groups, working loosely in concert with the Republican National Committee. Many of the key players were active in Mr. Trump’s attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

But unlike the chaotic and improvised challenge four years ago, the new drive includes a systematic search for any vulnerability in the nation’s patchwork election system.

Mr. Trump’s allies have followed a two-pronged approach: restricting voting for partisan advantage ahead of Election Day and short-circuiting the process of ratifying the winner afterward, if Mr. Trump loses. The latter strategy involves an ambitious — and legally dubious — attempt to reimagine decades of settled law dictating how results are officially certified in the weeks before the transfer of power.

Contest it?  They should be blocking it.

Action, not reaction.

Note they squeezed "falsely" in there.

Alright a$$hole$, prove it isn't happening. Require proof of citizenship and photo IDs to vote IN PERSON.

If this is true, then at least the Republicans have finally accepted that Democrat voter fraud is a real issue. For over 5 decades now, Republicans have refused vehemently to even acknowledge that fraud exists. Their refusal to accept/admit that fraud exists is the easiest way out for them. If you pretend that there is no problem, then there is no need to do anything about it.

Doing something about voter fraud would require a decision, and actual work. These are two things which Republicans hate doing. Republicans love to hide in the shadows and are happy to let the Democrats lead the way. 

We shall see if anything comes from this.
