The Department Of Dirty Tricks

Remember Nixon’s bag of dirty tricks? We Trump makes him look like amateur night!

Gerrymandering! Voter purges! Banning mail-in ballots! Voter IDs! They are all designed to rig the elections.
Two shadowy groups, Lead Left and Real Change, received all their funds from a super PAC that also supports Republicans.

A Republican-linked group was the sole funded of two pop-up super PACs that spent more than $4.3 million across a swath of Democratic congressional primaries to support candidates seen as less electable.

Democrats had speculated that the two groups, Real Change PAC and Lead Left, were Republican meddling as they spent heavily across Democratic primary races in Texas, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Nebraska and Maine in recent months.

New filings submitted to the Federal Election Commission late Saturday night show both groups got all of their money so far from Conservative Americans PAC, a super PAC founded in 2023 that this cycle has also sent money to the Senate Leadership Fund — Senate Republicans’ super PAC arm — and a host of other Republican groups.
This is why I am against open primaries, they allow voters to vote for the weaker other party’s candidates!
The meddling super PACs, which have spent entirely in open Democratic primaries, have a mixed record so far. In Maine’s 2nd District, state auditor Matt Dunlap — who benefited from a bit over $500,000 in spending from Real Change PAC boosting him and attacking one of his primary rivals — was declared the winner in recent days and will be Democrats’ nominee in a light red seat they are hoping to keep in November.
The Republican’s have made rigging elections an art form!
