This is their strategy for the midterms and Comer is saying it loud and proud

46. Directly saying Rs are lying about voter fraud gets listeners focused on voter fraud.

Those who hear that automatically start worrying more about voter fraud. Our talking about it too reinforces their questions.

The far more effective approach is to ask, "Why is Trump/Republicans so afraid of people voting?" Our questions plant the seeds of doubt.

Anything Trump says about “fighting fraud” should only raise the question of why Trump keeps trying to make it harder for people to vote. It will if we focus on those sorts of questions:

Does Trump not want people to vote?
Is he afraid Republicans are going to lose?
Are Republicans protecting him?
Will Trump be impeached if the Republicans lose control of Congress? (He thinks he will be.)
Is he afraid of being held responsible for whatever he is hiding in the Epstein files?
Is Trump going to end up in jail?
Did Trump get caught trying to steal the 2020 election?
Will Trump try to steal the election again?
Does he think he will get caught if he tries?
Is it easier to suppress votes in large quantities than it is to steal them after the fact?
Is that why he is trying to prevent people from voting in the first place?

Our Narrative

Elections in the U.S. are incredibly difficult to steal, and virtually impossible to steal without getting caught. They are run by states and localities, and there are many safeguards in place, but if you have doubts, you should learn more or even sign up to be election workers or observers and help make our elections more secure.

Rather than just avoiding talk about Trump’s attempt to steal elections, we need to make it clear that yes, people do try to steal elections, but they always get caught. Focus on the mechanisms used to safeguard elections, such as that virtually all vote processing happens under the eye of election judges and observers from both parties, and that election results can be and often are verified by hand counts, either of randomly selected precincts or – if necessary – entire elections.
