The Elephant in the Room: Was the 2024 Election Stolen?
Will declaring martial law cancel the 2026 Midterms?
Conspiracy theory alert. I’m beginning to get a little nervous.
In the months and years prior to the 2024 election, headlines were filled with stories about the 2020 election being stolen by Democrats.
During the weeks prior to election day 2024, news outlets were flooded with stories about the Protect Your Vote Tour and the movement by America First Policy Institute (AFPI) to monitor elections in swing states to avoid this happening again.
These organizations and others like them, hired thousands of Poll Watchers to monitor voting. But what wasn’t clear is whether they would be working to make elections fair, or intimidating voters to vote for Republican candidates.
BTW, in case you were wondering about the AFPI, its founder, Brooke Rollins, has now been appointed by Donald Trump to be Secretary of Agriculture. She knows virtually nothing about farming, though I’m told she has some house plants in her Washington Apartment, not to be confused with the house plants she supports to run for office.
The history of America First goes all the way back to the 1930s. Then it was led by a bunch of people…
