The facts here remain simple: Virginia is keeping eligible citizens from voting by chasing conspiracy theories to score political points — a blatant attempt to deceive the American public and undermine confidence in our safe and secure elections.

My colleague @amandacarpenter has written about the "believability gap" - voters don't quite believe Trump will follow through on his authoritarian promises or retribution and revenge. Take note: these billionaire newspaper owners are under no such delusions.
