“Donald Trump’s Dangerous Vote Rigging Comments Follow Years of Republican Voter Fraud Hysteria”

I have written this piece for Talking Points Memo. It begins:

Donald Trump may be out of step with the Republican Party’s traditional stance on some issues, like support for international trade, but he’s right in line with Republican hysteria over voter fraud. Indeed, the threat of voter intimidation and violence that Trump is raising by his irresponsible talk of vote rigging and encouragement of his supporters to go to other polling places is only possible because of years of earlier irresponsible talk.
