> [@Spectre\_of\_Pithecanthropus](#): > > So the Trumpistas are arguing that SCOTUS has jurisdiction over whether a state can prosecute election fraud conspiracy with respect to a Federal election, regardless of the state’s own laws on federal elections.

They are perpetuating the bigoted nonsense about President Obama’s birth. > [@Gordon\_G](#): > > Fans of America and democracy pray that the conviction reduces the risk of fascist take-over in the November election.
