GOP won legal curbs on 2020 election issues, but slow to answer plan to tilt 2022 playing field

In response to Republican legal challenges, courts have curbed some of the worst usurpations of state legislative authority over elections in 2020, says conservative election watchdog Phill Kline, but the right, he cautions, has failed to anticipate and counter a reconfigured alliance of the federal government, Big Tech and Democrat-friendly nonprofits to microtarget and turn out Democrat voters in 2022.

"[T]ruthfully, if you review all the litigation, it refutes the narrative of mainstream media that Trump allies filed all these lawsuits and lost," Phill Kline, founder of the Amistad Project, told the John Solomon Reports podcast. "No, many of those substantive lawsuits are won — they're just won well after the election to prevent things from happening again that happened in 2020.

"And you mentioned two of them. In Wisconsin, for example, the law hasn't changed as it relates to [ballot] drop boxes. It's just that the Wisconsin Supreme Court finally looked at the law and says, 'You know what? It clearly indicates there's no such thing as drop boxes, it clearly indicates you can't ballot harvest.

"So those types of court decisions really have been on the side of conservatives. And we didn't file as many lawsuits as the left in trying to change the election. We filed lawsuits trying to change how [the left] unilaterally ignored state law. And those are now bearing some fruit."

In states such as Wisconsin, "The courts have done a great job of pointing out the obvious," Kline said.

Since public exposure of the unprecedented funneling of hundreds of millions of dollars donated by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg through left-leaning nonprofits to boost turnout in Democratic strongholds in key states in 2020, many states have banned such funds, known colloquially as "Zuckerbucks."

They fixed 2020 AFTER the election, and haven't address the 2022 problems for the upcoming elections.

That's why they are called the stupid party.

It’s not a matter of a Dem plan to “turn out Democrat voters in 2022,” which I would have no problem with. It’s a matter of turning in illegitimate ballots, from fictional voters, people who are not eligible to vote, people who vote in multiple states and districts, and dead voters.

It's not stupidity. It's by design.

RINO traitors are happy to allow Rats to cheat against MAGA. They would rather a Rat win than have 'their' party taken over by MAGA.

The only way we get reform is to vote out RINOs. We made a good start in the primaries this summer, but it will take another cycle or two to completely oust them all.

Pubs would rather have a close Senate, that gives the swing votes that much more power.

RINOs and Establishment Republicans would prefer Democrats won than MAGA or Pro Trumpers. RINOs and Establishment Republicans unite with Democrats to oust Trump supporters and President Trump like they did in the Coup and steal of the 2020 election.

It’s a Democrat funded scheme to pay for illegal and fraudulent votes.

Why can’t we get that message out there?

The GOP is determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory...
As they have done many times in the past...

After all, the GOP finds that it is a lot easier to bitch, complain, and “promise” solutions to the current communist tyranny than to get elected and have to figure out how to get out of backing up any of the false promises...

There is never ever a penalty for officials on the left who ignore voter laws. Not even if there actions are later ruled illegal. They can do anything they want.. They have nothing to lose.
