> “Today’s Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump posted Wednesday, a little over an hour before he was due at the Capitol to sign the bill into law.
"Some" call this act the "Suppression And Voter Exclusion" act, otherwise known as Jim Crow.

However, if we look at what it claims happened, the system we have today is working. The remains no evidence of widespread fraud or any amount that would have changed an outcome.

Here's a person that plead guilty shortly after this went public:

This is real, it's evidence, it's not a zero proof thing. Now we need to find out how wide spread this is.
When I moved from Oregon to CA 14 years ago, they asked for my OR license and punched a hole into it. When I AGAIN moved to CA from TX a year ago, they no longer punch a hole in it.
These changes and actions are to facilitate as much illegal voting as possible. Even if you refuse to look at this stuff from that lens, what if that is a lens someone in policy is doing this.
I remember a time 12 years ago in HN people would discuss possible voting strategies to make the vote secure via tech/blockchain/etc.. I feel like in the last 6 years all of that discussion is missing, gone and unwanted. What happened?
You're getting into assuming people belong to some "enemy" group of yours and slinging accusations. Please refrain, I have no idea who this Nick character is. I don't engage in this political theater and propaganda and it is not wanted on HN.
I would encourage you to step back from the left-right fight to recognize it is the people vs the oligarchs. They manipulate us so we are distracted from the robbery they visit upon the country. Both political parties are doing this with the ultra wealthy. This is the fourth cycle this has happened, we are in the phase of excessive inequality, turmoil, and bi-partisanship. Historically, when the wealth gap was smaller, so was bi-partisanship, i.e. we all got along better and made this country greater every day.
So yes, we ALREADY have evidence of widespread fraud.

> How much further up does it go?
We know the guy at the top right now has strong, wrong beliefs about 2020, where all evidence is to the contrary of his conclusions.
Russia and Belarus are examples what actual voting fraud at scale looks like.

James O'Keefe left Project Veritas in February 2023, so anything happening at trial in 2024 is going to be the person that took over and is covering and pulling out of any lawsuits.
Here's more about the person that was found to be doing some of this illegal stuff:

This would not have been found without O'keefe's group doing this work. This happened all in 2026, and it's still ongoing. He has been working with CA and the FBI and others to find more.

So there's nothing in between. Either we're Russia/Belarus scale or it's not happening? I'll happily say we're not at that level, but we're in for a rough ride with this if people won't look at it closer.

vvv it's not letting me reply, so edit it is:
In 2010, O'Keefe pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of entering a federal building under false pretenses during the Mary Landrieu office incident. He was sentenced to probation, community service, and a $1,500 fine. The fine was related to that offense, not to lying in court.
He was pretending to be a telephone repairman to get a story. It sounds like not only should I trust him, but I should be expecting the entire staff of 60 minutes, NBC, MSNOW and even FOX to get back into INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM. Something we don't have anymore. He should be lauded for it. Too bad he didn't know about a law about entering federal buildings under false pretenses.
I'd reconsider any person as source of information if they have lied in court. It takes real gall and disrespect for truth to be willing to do that.
O'Keefe was fired, more correct than left (by choice): https://apnews.com/article/james-okeefe-project-veritas-west...
