Here is my question today: Why have countless other officials not been indicted, like Trump, under the charge of "conspiracy against rights" for obstructing voting and civil rights of citizens in states across America?

I do not just mean in the Trump election case. I mean in countless attempts in states and counties across the country where officials try to rob citizens of their rights.

@jeffjarvis I think you will find that this usually happens in states where the attorney general is a member of a well-known criminal political party that is behind the vote obstruction. That leaves it up to the DOJ, which is both overstretched and also crawling with members of the criminal party.

Because the charges are *not* against the intent to suppress the vote, but against the illegal means used to attempt to accomplish it.

The state levels use old-fashioned money and influence to control the vote. The result is heinous, but the means are mundane.

I keep expecting to hear about these as well. Trump and his co-conspirators may have orchestrated the big lie and coup attempt, but others carried out the plans.

YES! I keep looking for Gym Jordan, Cruz or Gaetz, at least, to show up in the unindicted conspirators..

I HOPE That Jack Smith is saving them for a later trial, in order to get Trump tried as quickly as possible.

Strictly speaking, every member of GOP, as well as all their significant donors and media promoters, should be charged with conspiracy to "steal the election".

Preferably under the RICO principle that every one of them is guilty of any crime committed by any one of them in the pursuit of that goal.

@jeffjarvis because passing laws that are blatantly unconstitutional is actually legal.
