The midterm election is just a little more than three months away. And the closer it gets, the more riddled with anxiety Donald Trump and his MAGA-tists become. Trump’s approval ratings continue to be dragged by his reckless and illegal war against Iran, his mismanagement of the domestic economy, and his overall distasteful demeanor that is comprised mostly of his noxious hatred and relentless lying.

Trump’s response to his persistent and spreading unpopularity has been to focus his attention on a subject that he seems to think is uppermost on the minds of the American people: Alleged election fraud in 2020. It’s a strategy that is simultaneously outdated, while actually being aimed at rigging future elections, which his White House minions are boldly admitting in public.

On Tuesday night Trump was engaged in what he appears to believe are the essential duties of an American president: Shit-posting on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He unloaded more than thirty rants before noon on Wednesday. They were all teetering on the brink of sanity, while serving no purpose other than to exalt himself.

In one particular comment, Trump reposted a memo from New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill regarding a technical glitch in the state’s voter registration system. In her memo, Gov. Sherrill disclosed that a software error resulted in some non-citizens mistakenly being added to the state’s voter registration rolls. There was no nefarious plot by Democrats or evil foreigners, or any deliberate intent to deceive. It was clearly not a case of election fraud by any rational standard. The mistaken registrations were recorded for Democrats, Republicans, and Unaffiliated voters.

What’s more, fewer then 6% of the errors – 0.009% of all voters – resulted in invalid votes mistakenly cast. No election outcomes were affected. And on top of all of that, Trump’s “Save America Act” (aka Voter Suppression Act) would not have prevented any of it. Nevertheless, Trump declared that it was “Rigged Elections!!!” at the top of his post.

What’s funny is that the memo that Trump posted also had some decidedly negative assessments of Trump’s own disingenuous and self-serving efforts to interfere with the conduct of free and fair elections. Gov. Sherrill wrote that…

“As the Trump Administration tries to weaponize elections for political gain, I am ensuring we protect our elections. Let me be clear: Donald Trump has zero credibility on the issue of election integrity. For more than ten years, he has worked to undermine Americans’ faith in our elections by spreading lies about legitimate election results, attempting to overturn a free and fair election, encouraging an attack on our Capitol when he couldn’t accept the will of the voters, and defunding election security at the federal level.”

That’s a damn good summary of Trump’s un-American, anti-constitutional, scheming to accomplish what he has been falsely accusing Democrats of doing. And in a subsequent comment Trump actually made the case against his Voter Suppression bill. That comment attempted to counter the valid arguments that his Voter Suppression bill would place too big a burden on legitimate voters. It proposed providing free access to “birth certificates, citizenship-marked IDs, mobile units in rural areas, digital options, and assistance for elderly/disabled.”

However, none of those things are in Trump’s bill. So that post is, in effect, conceding that Trump’s bill actually does pose unacceptable burdens for legitimate voters. And combined with the fact that it doesn’t prevent invalid voters, there is no other conclusion than that Trump’s bill should be rejected.

America needs more voter participation, not less. And Trump needs to STFU until he has some verifiable evidence that to support his complaints. Which he hasn’t been able to provide for over six years now.
