Why Does Donald Trump Lie About Voter Fraud?

Millions of people did not vote illegally, but top Republicans are happy to let the country believe they did.

"Undermining the integrity of the electoral process and making it harder to vote is threatening to all Americans, regardless of party. The cynical Republicans now in power figure that all they have to do is fool the public long enough to win the next election. It’s outrageous, but it’s hard to see why they would stop when lying has gotten them this far."

who limit the power of the state.
They are using the oil and gas interests to perform the abuse.
The Army Corps of Engineers has been commanded to consider another solution.
The command could be countermanded in the next few months.
The Sioux victory could be fleeting.
