The GOP’s aggressive lie about massive voter fraud

Go to the Heritage Foundation’s website.  Alongside Project 2025: Presidential Transition Project, blueprint for an America based on the credo of the Thousand Year Reich (Führerworte haben Gesetzeskraft — “the Führer’s word has the force of law”), you can see the database a far right crank named Hans von Spakovsky has been maintaining since the 1980s.  Here are my own calculations, based on the Koch’s own Hans von Spakovsky’s important work. 

If the relentless 0.00025% fraud rate seen since 1982 increases tenfold (to 25 ten thousandths of one percent), the tally in the 2024 election nationwide might feature literally dozens of fraudulent votes, possibly even triple digits!  This is why the GOP is hammering the fraudulent theme of MASSIVE ELECTION FRAUD in MAIL-IN VOTING, as Bill Barr publicly did for weeks before the 2020 election (before telling Trump, after he lost, that the fraud argument was bullshit).

Repeat a lie enough times and, in politics as in any family, it becomes the truth.
