Lara Trump has a brilliant new plan to make sure that Republicans have every disadvantage imaginable heading into this year's election. On Friday, the RNC, which Lara co-chairs, filed a lawsuit along with the Trump campaign to prevent states from counting mail-in ballots after the election ends on election night. This means that all of those mail-in ballots that come in after the election - even if postmarked BEFORE the end of the election - will no longer be counted, which actually takes away a huge chunk of Republican votes. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this braindead plan.

No one has ever accused Laura Trump, the co-chair of the RNC and the wife of Eric, of being smart. In fact, I mean she did marry the dumbest of the Trump, uh, uh, children. And we're starting to see just how much Eric has rubbed off on her with his stupidity because this past Friday, Laura Trump, along with the Trump campaign, the Arizona State, GOP and one Arizona Republican voter, filed a massive lawsuit against the state of Arizona challenging their law that allows for mail-in ballots to be counted up to four days after the end of the election, right? Once 8:00 PM hits on election night, and the polls close down, this lawsuit says that is when we should also stop counting these mail-in ballots. But see, the Arizona State law does not say that, Hey, just go ahead and send your ballot in. Even if the election's over, don't worry about it.
They only count the ballots that are postmarked prior to the end of the election. And only those that show up within four days after the election, after that four day cutoff, even if they're postmarked prior to the election, they go straight to the shredder. But Laura Trump, the Trump campaign, the, Arizona State Republican Party, and again, that one voter, 'cause you gotta have somebody who has standing. So that's why they got the one voter. They say, Nope, once 8:00 PM hits on election night. That's it. No more counting. It's over. It's done. We're moving forward. We got our winner. Right? Um, legal experts across social media once this lawsuit was filed, absolutely trashed, trashed Laura Trump for this very, very stupid move. And here's why it's stupid. Do you know the largest group of people in this country that vote by mail? It's Republicans. So what Laura Trump is doing is not, you know, trying to ensure the sanctity of our elections and making sure that there's no switcharoo, no, no, no.
She is disenfranchising potentially tens of thousands of Republican voters for what? Talking points. Like what exactly are you doing? Leaving this law in place can only benefit you because most of those ballots coming in are gonna be your voters. But hey, if you want to challenge it, go ahead and challenge it. I am not here to stop you, but we should be counting every vote. And let's also not forget how else this screws you, because we still have the joy, Donald Trump's guy as our postmaster general, and we know that he pretty much crippled the postal service. So that mail will arrives a lot slower than it had before he was appointed. He intentionally did that ahead of the 2020 election, you know, to benefit Donald Trump. 'cause we had a lot of covid voters voting by mail.
But, uh, yeah, so you're, you're knee capping your own party because that's what Donald Trump wants you to do because he's been out there trashing mail-in voting, of course, for years now, and forgetting that Republicans are the ones who typically vote by mail in larger numbers than Democrats. So yeah, this is a super smart move there, Laura, just destroying your own party, literally wanting to throw out your own Republican votes just because your daddy in-law told you to do it. So, hey, if that's what you want to do, by all means go for it. Just don't start whining and crying when it screws you over in the end because you didn't bother to think about the consequences of your actions.
