The stolen election narrative to come

Trump and Republicans are going to claim this election was stolen from them just like they did in 2020. Max Flugrath of Fair Fight helps us unpack this false, emerging narrative.

Yo. Today I’m in Luke O’Neill’s Hell World with a reflection on the election denier madness I’ve seen over the last four years. You can read it here and support Luke’s work by subscribing to his killer newsletter. Fun fact: I’ve been writing for Luke off and on longer than any other publication I’ve written for. The Internet can still be fun!

Also just a reminder that tomorrow night I’ll be hosting a live chat for the presidential debate. This live chat will be for paid subscribers only and I’ll be discussing election matters that come up in the debate. You can subscribe to American Doom for as little as $5 a month and join us tomorrow. Should be fun. We’ve also set up a new option for those who want to give a one-time contribution — the Doom Coffee Fund. Both subscriptions and one-time contributions are through a secure payment system and go to help fund operations here at American Doom. It’s just myself and a colleague doing enough investigative journalism here to garner mentions in the New York Times, the New Republic, on Joy Reid’s MSNBC show and elsewhere, in addition to a slew of press appearances based on our stories.

Now, on to today’s podcast. I’m pleased to be joined today by Max Flugrath of Fair Fight. Max has been instrumental in helping Georgians understand the issues affecting elections here and how they can ensure that they’re properly registered to vote even as Republicans carry out legally dubious voter purges throughout the state. Recently, Fair Fight launched PeachVote.com, which features the lovely little chatbot, Peaches, who can help you with all your voter registration questions and needs.

Today, Max and I discuss all the recent controversy at the Georgia State Election Board as well as the growing issue of voter purges and accompanying lawsuits backed by Republicans.
