"From a controversial international tour by the secretary of state, to shutting down emergency lending programs at the Fed as the pandemic accelerates, to continuing to do damage to the climate, Trump, with the consent of the GOP, is trying to sabotage Biden’s chances at a recovery every way he can. But it’s the nation itself that will suffer — and Trump and his administration don’t care. As Adam Serwer wrote in 2018 of Trump’s policies, “the cruelty is the point.” Trump is doing his best to accelerate it in his final weeks in office."

"On Tuesday, Trump tweeted that he and his legal team had a “big lawsuit” planned which would “[spell] out in great detail all of the ballot fraud and more.” So far, however, nearly all of Trump’s legal filings alleging fraud have been dismissed, with judges pointing to the lack of proof of fraud or election rigging of any kind. There’s no sign or proof from Trump that this new lawsuit would be any different."

Before he leaves office, Trump is looking to give the GOP one last anti-democratic gift: an intentionally skewed congressional apportionment count, so Republicans can entrench their anti-majoritarian power.

Georgia Deputy Secretary of State Jordan Fuchs said the allegations in the lawsuit “are false and irresponsible.”

“Texas alleges that there are 80,000 forged signatures on absentee ballots in Georgia, but they don’t bring forward a single person who this happened to. That’s because it didn’t happen,” Fuchs said.
