To the editor: I used to be very impressed and happy to learn the superb, well-researched article by Kevin Rector and Justine McDaniel about this crucial subject (“Will Trump interfere in the midterms? Democrats and their allies are preparing,” Aug. 23). I used to be additionally reassured by their report of the work being carried out now to foil any efforts by the president, Republicans and their supporters to subvert the election. As well as, the authors included what I contemplate to be an essential level: “Some voting specialists mentioned Trump’s efforts shouldn’t be blown out of proportion.”
Right. First, overblowing the menace might discourage folks from voting.
Second, the authors may have additionally targeted on the phrase “incompetence.” From the botched Washington Reflecting Pool renovations to the tragic misadventure in Iran and all the things in between, this president and his Cupboard have repeatedly supplied proof that they couldn’t pull off a coup of any variety. They telegraph their intentions (bear in mind Jan. 6?) after which empower a motley group of under-qualified directors to run the operation.
All of us have to be vigilant, however come on; can this group do something proper? The one factor to concern is our apathy, which might assist this incompetent administration.
