What Broadview Shoe Will Drop Next? (A Short Roundup of the Latest) talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/what-...
Add into the mix the fact that California allows voters to vote-by-mail more extensively than other states — & has millions of votes to count — and you’ve got a normal situation ripe to be seized on by Trump and his allies looking for a reason to begin spreading lies about midterms “fraud.”
The “red mirage” has again tricked President Trump and his followers, who were already salivating for a 2026 election fraud conspiracy theory — ideally one in a blue or purple state — to catch on this midterms cycle.
“Tricked” is perhaps too generous a word here. We've been down this road before.
