DOJ pushes election fraud BS, as Big Law does Trump's dirty work

You may have noticed that Attorney General Pam Bondi is perfectly happy to let President Donald Trump treat the Department of Justice like his own personal law firm/attack dog. So now the DOJ is mobilizing to help Trump continue his baseless claims that the 2020 election was stolen.

The DOJ has demanded an enormous amount of voter data from Colorado, a request that could be read to include voter registration materials. They want all records from the 2024 election, and that any records remaining from 2020 be preserved as well. Terrific.

To the best of anyone’s knowledge, this has never happened. Not just never happened in Colorado. Like, never ever happened. The request for 2024 election data, versus only 2020, is unnerving, as it suggests that the administration is looking for additional ways to undermine election integrity, rather than being limited to trying to prove the lie that Trump won in 2020.

Colorado is a Trump fixation because of Tina Peters, the former Mesa County clerk and Big Lie believer. Last year, Peters was convicted in Mesa County state court after giving another weirdo conspiracy theorist access to county voting machines to find voter fraud in the 2020 election.
