I will not quibble, or be drawn into any debate about what he actually meant here. Let's not belabor the obvious: he wanted "manufactured" votes, months after the polls closed.
This is a felony, on audiotape, no less. A series of them, actually -- see, 52 U.S.C. §§ 10307(c), 10307(e), and 20511. See also 18 U.S.C. §§ 241 and 242. See the DoJ primer here. It is called solicitation of election fraud -- and criminal conspiracy to achieve the same.
It should surprise no one who's been paying any attention at all that the criminal here is. . . the outgoing president. Let's mention just one, specifically:
. . .Causing the production of voter registrations that qualify alleged voters to vote for federal candidates, or the production of ballots in federal elections, that the actor knows are materially defective under applicable state law (52 U.S.C. § 20511(2)). . . .
That is precisely what Baby T was directing the Georgia Secretary of State to do, on a recorded call. Seventeen days. Only seventeen. Out.

I actually like § 20511 (2)(B) more applicable than (2)(A) that you cite.
ReplyDeletei.e. (2)(B) the procurement, casting, or tabulation of ballots that are known by the person to be materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent under the laws of the State in which the election is held,
Nice! Like I say. . . Lots of applicable felonies!
ReplyDeleteHe’s the dumbest crook on the planet. . . Mail and wire fraud too, since he did it using a phone wire.
Damnation!
I like this statement from your DOJ election fraud link.
ReplyDelete"virtually all election crime is driven by a motive to control governmental power for some corrupt purpose."
