While not related to the 2020 election, this prosecution (linked below) confirms both sides can cheat ie politicians at work.

"Former U.S. Congressman and Philadelphia Political Operative Pleads Guilty to Election Fraud Charges"

https://www.justice.gov/usao-edpa/pr/fo ... tion-fraud

"PHILADELPHIA – United States Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams announced today that former U.S. Congressman Michael “Ozzie” Myers, 79, of Philadelphia, PA, pleaded guilty today to conspiracy to deprive voters of civil rights, bribery, obstruction of justice, falsification of voting records, and conspiring to illegally vote in a federal election for orchestrating schemes to fraudulently stuff the ballot boxes for specific Democratic candidates in the 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 Pennsylvania elections."

Thankfully this truth has come out while Jimmy Carter is still alive. It's been long known that Reagan's crew manufactured the outcome but it's still good to see it laid out this way.

WOW!

After 40 years if comes out!
Republican operatives urged Iranian leaders to hang onto the US hostages in 1980 and delay their release until after the election, to make President Jimmy Carter look bad and spoil his chances at re-election. The plot included then Texas Governor John Connally.

Coming on the eve of guilty donnie’s likely indictment and 50 years after Nixon/Watergate, it shows that - repeatedly - whether it is voter suppression, foreign influences or out-right election interference, the Republican Party can not win unless they cheat.

And they know they can’t win…..or they wouldn’t need to keep trying to subvert democracy.
