Bump it!

The post RUSSRANT: Forbidden Topic: Did Voter Suppression Elect Trump? appeared first on WhoWhatWhy.

Hillary Clinton’s lead in the popular vote now exceeds two million. But she lost the Electoral College fair and square. Or did she?

Did a hideous and undemocratic effort to prevent some Americans from voting result in Donald Trump’s electoral college win? Does it explain, at least in part, how generally accurate polls could have been so wildly off?

That’s exactly what the evidence suggests. Yet almost no one in the media wants to talk about this.

As a result, we see yet another abdication by journalism.

This kind of thing should be of concern to all fair-minded people, irrespective of which candidate they preferred. Cheating — and that’s what it would have been — is profoundly un-American. And cheating will only justify more cheating. It will be a deadly cycle for democracy.
