rigging

Screams of voter suppression and rigging the election are co-mingling with accusations that Attorney General Merrick Garland slow-walked the federal prosecutions against Trump and condemnation of Senator Mitch McConnell for failing to vote for a conviction during Trump’s second impeachment.

In 2020, a multi-day delay provided ample time for Trump and his allies to spread false claims and threaten officials whom they accused of rigging the vote.

Even while he deprioritizes Meta’s internal election safety efforts, stops funding broader election security initiatives under pressure from the GOP, and hops on personal phone calls with Trump, he isn’t actually reassuring those Republicans, who keep sending him stern letters and accusing him of rigging the system against Trump.

Mondlane had called for a national strike on Thursday in protest at the alleged rigging.

The election has been marred by allegations of rigging and the killing of opposition supporters, prompting protests across the country.
