stack the deck

The majority took a similarly blinkered view of the ballot board’s other efforts to stack the deck against Issue 1.

“I’m not involved in the negotiations of the CFP extension, but it feels as though there’s two conferences that are trying to stack the deck vs. everyone else, and that’s potentially going to create a competitive inequity that I don’t think is good.,”

“We thought, where else would you go that would have more support, more connections, the right type of environment and the right investors? Building a company is hard. It takes everything you’ve got, and even then there’s an 80% chance of failure. So why would you stack the deck against yourself? It was a no-brainer to come back here.”

Critics say the Nevada GOP’s new rules were designed to favor Trump and stack the deck against his rivals, most of whom have left the race as it turns to Nevada.

Still, better to stack the deck when you can.
