Dems sue GOP over Trump's 'rigged' complaints
CNN Politica ^ | 10/26/2018 | Theodore Schleifer

Washington (CNN)The Democratic National Committee is suing the Republican National Committee for aiding GOP nominee Donald Trump as he argues that the presidential election is "rigged," claiming that Trump's argument is designed to suppress the vote in minority communities.

The suit, filed Wednesday in US District Court in New Jersey, argues that the RNC has not sufficiently rebuked Trump for the line of attack, which he has used as a rallying cry and is assumed to be a way to explain away a potential loss on Election Day.

It’s a smoke and mirrors pound the table distraction designed to get airtime for their POV. Means nothing.

And Trump can turn coverage of the case into coverage of his views.

That blog that you linked is a whole lot of blather that says almost nothing.

All I get from it is that Trump is making [true] statements about vote fraud, and that the Democrats have somehow gotten some decree to prevent the RNC from complaining about vote fraud and, worse, to make it illegal for the RNC to try to prevent vote fraud.

In other words, it confirms the deep corruption of the government under liberal rule.

“Trump’s argument is designed to suppress the vote in minority communities.”

Race card! Again.

Be sure to add to discovery that 6 times in the Democrat primaries a vote was settled by coin toss and Hillary won all six...6-0. Someone could calculate the odds of that...

In Progressive America free speech is allowed as long as it agrees with the Democrat Party.

The entire consent decree is based upon the premise that there is no voter fraud and that therefore efforts to ensure there is no voter fraud have no legitimate purpose.

We know have a substantial record demonstrating admitted democratic efforts to perpetrate voter fraud. The presumption of no legitimate purpose no longer exists.

Unfortunately the GOP “leadership” are either spineless jellyfish or traitorous globalist weasels. Wouldn’t be surprised to see them pile on.

The RNC agreed, back in the 80’s, not to “fight” any such issues due to a settlement from some absurd lawsuit about discrimination and now the DNC has free reign to commit fraud freely with no impunity. This situation must be resolved and the “playing ground” must be leveled.

Otherwise, it is time for a Revolution to remedy the situation, IMO.

It links to the lawsuit, which is essential to understand what is going on. Most people think the recent suit comes out of the blue.

I have no desire to read a bunch of legalese.

However, skimming quickly over the suit, I saw that there are several dates in which the DNC has brought action against the RNC.

My take is that this is a concerted effort by the DNC to entrench vote fraud so deeply that it cannot be rooted out. They have not tried to hide efforts to make vote fraud mechanisms part of law (using courts to eliminate voter ID laws, stop efforts to remove the dead from voter rolls, etc.). But the use of lawsuits to try to prevent the RNC from looking for or take action against the vote fraud is news to me, even though it apparently has been going on since the 1980s.

The Democrat party is truly more corrupt than I had thought—and I had already thought that it scrapes the barrel in corruption. But that it has moles in the courts acting on its behalf to disenfranchise voters is a completely new level of corruption. They’ve gone below the barrel and are digging into the polluted soil beneath.

I don't blame you. I didn't read it either, just enough to know that this "suit" is a continuation of one that is what, ten years old?

Not new, really, and both parties participate in suicide of the nation. Universal suffrage is a deadly poison.
