"If his goals were to undermine election security in the states, he's failed," Center for Election Innovation & Research founder David Becker told NOTUS. "If his goals were to seize power over elections through executive order, he's failed. If his goals were to seize sensitive voter data from the states, he's failed. If his goal was to pass the SAVE America Act, he's failed."And the DOJ is a paper tiger:
According to the report, "The DOJ has been the epicenter of Trump’s efforts to scrutinize the results of the 2020 election and remake the administration of future ones. Ahead of the midterms in November, the Justice Department canceled election-integrity training sessions for prosecutors and FBI agents, deleted a 281-page guide to prosecuting election offenses and fired most of the lawyers in its Public Integrity Section."Like the lawyer I once worked for told me: “They don’t pay us to be wrong.” But ETTD. Especially what Trump tries to do for Trump.
But the most damning metric reveals the magnitude of the failure: as of Tuesday, the DOJ has lost 15 consecutive lawsuits attempting to access unredacted voter rolls from individual states.
"0-15 should never happen," Becker, a former DOJ lawyer himself, told NOTUS. "What that means is you brought frivolous cases, and then when you were getting handed defeat after defeat after defeat, there's no grown-up there to review this and say, 'Hey, wait a second, should we reel this in?' The president has actually undermined his own efforts because there's not an election official in the country that's scared of the DOJ right now."
Don’t fear the incompetence.
