Campaign Action
There's one entirely predictable conclusion to popular vote loser Donald Trump's voter fraud obsession and that's a Department of Justice led by Jeff Sessions doing everything in its power to increase voter suppression. Charlie Pierce nails it with this:
If it isn't clear by now, there's a powerful new campaign of voter suppression coming down the road. It doesn't matter whether the sudden amplification of the "voter fraud" meme is due to the fact that the president* is delusional on the subject, or due to the fact that he needed a diversion from the stories about Russian ratfcking that were beginning to pile up on the South Lawn, or simply due to the fact that Republicans suppress votes because they're Republicans. [...]
At a moment like this one, it simply will not do to have someone in the attorney general's office who was deemed too racist to be a federal judge 30 years ago. It will not do to have someone in the attorney general's office who launched a dirty-tricks prosecution of voting-rights activists when he was a U.S. Attorney in Alabama. It will not do to have someone in the attorney general's office who greeted the gutting of the Voting Rights Act in 2013 by noting that it was "good for the South."
Jefferson Beauregard Sessions simply will not do.
There is no reason—not a damned one—for any Democrat to vote for Jeff Sessions for attorney general. It doesn’t matter if he’s been a nice colleague in the Senate. You are not going to sway him with your vote. You are not going to convince Trump that he might be able to work with you with your vote.
A vote for Sessions is a vote for voter suppression.
