We’re not saying that the Republican Party creates conspiracies out of whole cloth based on nothing but greed, grievance and a need to get camera time, but when pop music participant and co-chair of the Republican National Committee Lara Trump breathlessly explains to a conservative news ham hock that the RNC is already suing for election irregularities in 31 states that don’t exist, it’s reasonable to conclude the Republicans are just making shit up again: “Instead of these poll workers, we’re gonna have lawyers in all the major polling locations across the country. We have lawsuits in 81 states right now.” Editor’s note: there are only 50 states in the United States of America.
