How the Democrats Rigged Our Elections

Joy Pullman has a sort of book report on Mollie Hemingway's new book Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections. Pullman's article can be found at The Federalist entitled 7 Insane Things I Just Learned About How U.S. Elections Are 'Rigged'. And what Joy Pullman read shocks even her! Here's an example:

1. The DNC Controlled All Poll Watchers for 40 Years
What?? How can this be? Pullman goes on to explain:
I had to read this section of the book two or three times to absorb what it was saying. I couldn’t believe it could possibly be true. Yet it is: “Shockingly, the 2020 contest was the first presidential election since Reagan’s first successful run in 1980 in which the Republican National Committee could play any role whatsoever in Election Day operations.”
What? Next sentence: “For nearly 40 years, the Democratic National Committee had a massive systemic advantage over its Republican counterpart: the Republican National Committee had been prohibited by law from helping out with poll watcher efforts or nearly any litigation related to how voting is being conducted.”
This section in chapter 1 goes on to explain how such an insane thing could be real. Essentially, after Democrats accused Republicans of cheating in a New Jersey race in 1981, a judge banned the RNC from poll-watching and voting litigation everywhere in the country, then kept re-upping the order until 2018, when it finally expired three years after he died.
This handicapped Republicans for almost 40 years while Democrats were free to do things Republicans couldn’t, like give boosts to their voters all along the voting process and track them extensively, challenge ballots, document irregularities, and sue over election disputes.
And how did the Republican National Committee allow something so obviously partisan to stand...for 40 years? They couldn't have appealed it? Couldn't have made a stink over it? We all know that the Democrats always accuse their opposition of what they are doing themselves. It's a way of distracting attention from their own misdeeds.  Do the Republicans like losing?

But, as they say on TV commercials, there's more!  Go read Pullman's article, and get Hemingway's book.
