By now it's clear that these efforts failed. All the votes were counted and Joe Biden, not Donald Trump, will be President of the United States come January 20, 2020. No amount of complaining or tweeting by Trump will change that. But that's only the first half of the story...

Trump & GOP's efforts to subvert democracy and overturn the results of the election failed but they're not letting their efforts go to waste. After making completely baseless allegations of voter fraud, Republicans began pointing out that faith in the election was pretty low.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said "a large percentage of the American public does not view the 2020 election result as legitimate because of apparent irregularities." Well duh! People view the election as illegitimate because you kept lying and telling them it was illegitimate!pic.twitter.com/7tBhQIe2A7

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) took the same approach and said "the integrity of elections must be self-evident ... where no one can plausibly question results." Yet the only reason people questioned the results is because his party continuously lied & made baseless claim about fraud.pic.twitter.com/huqxhsvEQ5

Even after Trump's hand-picked far-right Attorney General, William Barr announced that there was no evidence of voter fraud, Republican lawmakers kept the charade up. Even after Trump lost 50+ lawsuits, the lies continued to flow.

"U.S. Sen. Rand Paul continues to falsely claim — without proof — voter fraud played a role in the election of President-elect Joe Biden. The Kentucky Republican said during a Wednesday congressional hearing the election 'In many ways was stolen.'"https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/politics/2020/12/16/sen-rand-paul-falsely-claims-presidential-election-stolen/3923681001/ …

Now that it's clear that the efforts to overturn the election will fail it's worth asking why GOP lawmakers continue to peddle lies. Part of the answer is they want to undermine a Biden presidency before he even takes office. But there's something even more sinister going on...

Let's return to the thread posted by Rep. Crenshaw in which he rehashes the lie that there were election integrity issues. What does he propose in response to that? You guessed it! New voter suppression laws that would disenfranchise voters, predominantly Black voters.pic.twitter.com/3K9tZoboQl

Crenshaw isn't alone. Brad Raffensperger, Georgia's Secretary of State who has praised for refusing to overturn the election, is also calling for restrictive new voter suppression measures. This month he called for an end to no-excuse mail-in voting and new photo ID laws.pic.twitter.com/5EzQKG8sMu

Raffensperger also set up a "bipartisan election task force" to improve voting policies. Today, the president of the Georgia chapter of the NAACP announced he is resigning from the task force, calling it a “farce.”https://www.ajc.com/politics/politics-blog/head-of-georgia-naacp-resigns-from-raffenspergers-election-task-force/YUOBHQAGXRCVRNIDW6UY6OQMIE/ …

Last week Raffensperger told the House Government Affairs Committee that GA should end no-excuse absentee voting. Yet by his own admission, there was no widespread fraud or evidence of irregularities. What we're seeing is anti-democratic solutions to problems that don't exist.

And so that's where we're at now. An entirely engineered problem, followed up my baseless accusations of fraud or irregularity, and voter disenfranchisement proposed as the solution. There's simply no denying what is obvious: The GOP does not believe in democracy.
