Florida Republicans this spring insisted a contentious new election law curtailing access to ballot boxes was needed to prevent electoral fraud. It was not, they said, an attempt to gain a partisan advantage.

But a raft of internal emails and text messages show the law was drafted with the help of the Republican Party of Florida's top lawyer—and that a crackdown on mail-in ballot requests was seen as a way for the GOP to erase the edge that Democrats had in mail-in voting during the 2020 election.

The messages undercut the consistent argument made by Republicans that the new law was about preventing future electoral fraud. The law—labeled "Jim Crow 2.0" by some Democrats—was passed at the strong urging of Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, who signed the bill at an exclusive event aired by Fox News.

If you don't believe me, take it from the mouths of Republicans:

"Now many of our Christians have what I call the goo-goo syndrome - good government. They want everybody to vote. I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people, they never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down."

Trump wrote to Georgia's secretary of state asking him to consider 'decertifying' the 2020 election result

Former President Donald Trump on Friday sent a letter to Georgia's secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, asking him to consider "decertifying" Trump's 2020 election defeat.

The letter, which was posted to Twitter by a Trump spokeswoman, Liz Harrington, claims to have enclosed evidence of "large scale Voter Fraud" in Georgia. -snip




Yup, that was four days ago, 10+ months after the election. Remember how Hillary Clinton was a sore loser because she took several hours to concede in 2016...

Republican lawmakers in North Carolina wrote the state's voter ID law with the intent, at least in part, to make it harder for black residents to vote, a panel of state judges ruled on Friday. There is no evidence that legislators who supported the law were motivated by racism, the judges wrote. But it is still discriminatory to target black voters, they said, even if it is done for purely political reasons.

In this case, the political motivation was that black voters almost universally support Democratic politicians, they said. Friday's ruling does not necessarily end the state lawsuit, since a lawyer for N.C. House Speaker Tim Moore criticized the judges and said they plan to appeal. "Once again, liberal judges have defied the will of North Carolinians on election integrity," said Moore attorney Sam Hayes in a press release.

A detailed lawsuit filed by a former Apex City Councilman claims that Republican North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore started an affair with his wife and engaged in group sex with other people seeking political favor. Scott Riley Lassiter is suing Moore and an unnamed John Doe defendant for several claims, including alienation of affections and civil conspiracy.

Court documents allege that Moore "used his position as Speaker to initiate contact and develop a personal relationship with Mrs. Lassiter, despite knowing that she was married to Plaintiff." The lawsuit says Lassiter heard rumors that his wife was having an affair with Moore. On December 21st 2022, Lassiter surveilled his wife after she said she was going to see a movie with a friend, and he found that she went to dinner with Moore at a steakhouse.
