1/3 It bears repeating: in all of American history there’s no evidence that we’ve had a single instance - not once - in which tens of thousands of ineligible voters showed up individually at the polls and voted. No one who has studied voting seriously will say otherwise.
2/3 What historical and present day evidence we do have (tons and tons of it) are generations of eligible voters (mostly black people) who for years were (and continue to be) systematically denied the right to vote.
3/3 The fact that we are talking about voter fraud is not just a sign of stupidity but a form of collective amnesia, not to say, insanity. The “fraud” in the system isn’t that people are unlawfully voting but that millions of citizens are unfairly denied the right vote.
