Now that Secretary of State John Merrill has taken steps to enter United State Senate race, we can all get ready for the first step in the Democrat playbook: John Merrill must step down or he will steal the election.
It is already happening on social media.

The next step is that the mainstream media will echo the argument. The media and their Democrats tried to use this play in Georgia for the entirety of the gubernatorial race in 2018.
This, of course, is absurd.
This same media that went on about this for months in Georgia could not produce a single instance of actual voter suppression. None.
In Alabama, they can’t do it either. None.
Merrill has invited Democrats and the media to show him where there is suppression, but they can’t. None.
But that doesn’t stop them. Senator Doug Jones (D-AL), Merrill’s potential future opponent, claimed there was voter suppression in Alabama. He took this smear national by appearing on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” saying Republicans “do not want African-Americans and other minorities to vote.”
Any evidence? None.
Merrill responded to this with facts.
He explained that Jones and others are promoting a premise that is just not factual. He highlighted that Alabama’s record-breaking voter registration and Merrill stated for the record, “Since January 19, 2015, we have registered 1,229,399 new voters, we now have a record 3,470,811 registered voters in Alabama.”
Furthermore, there was record turnout among “suppressed” groups in the midterms.
If voter suppression is a real problem, then the media should expose it, name names and embarrass those involved.
They can’t. Instead, they repeat innuendo and boost pathetic frauds like Hillary Clinton and Stacey Abrams who can’t accept that they lost.
This is a dangerous attack on our representative republic and the media and their Democrats should put up or shut up.
