“There’s Nothing Left, I no longer recognize my party”
Why Hundreds of Thousands of Republicans Are Leaving the Party
Voting registration data indicates a strong and unusual flight from the G.O.P. since the Capitol riot, with an intensely fluid period in American politics now underway.
In the days and weeks after the storming of the Capitol by Trump supporters on Jan. 6, hundreds of thousands of Republicans left the party. After the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, the phone lines and websites of local election officials across the country were jumping: Tens of thousands of Republicans were calling or logging on to switch their party affiliations.
In California, more than 33,000 registered Republicans left the party during the three weeks after the Washington riot. In Pennsylvania, more than 12,000 voters left the G.O.P. in the past month, and more than 10,000 Republicans changed their registration in Arizona.
An analysis of January voting records found that nearly 140,000 Republicans had quit the party in 25 states that had readily available data (19 states do not have registration by party). Voting experts say this is the start of a particularly damaging period for G.O.P. registrations as voters recoil from the Capitol violence and its fallout.
Among those who recently left the party are Juan Nunez, 56, an Army veteran in Mechanicsburg, Pa. He said he had long felt that the difference between the United States and many other countries was that campaign-season fighting ended on Election Day, when all sides would peacefully accept the result. The Jan. 6 riot changed that, he said.

WE NOW HAVE EVIDENCE OF VOTER FRAUD AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT:
Mark Meadows, Trump’s last White House chief of staff, registered to vote in September of that year, listing his domicile as a rusty old mobile home in Scaly Mountain, N.C.
It seems, however, that he never bothered to live there. Voter registration forms, require you to list “where you physically live,” which one signs “under penalty of perjury.” But at the time of his registration, Meadows lived at his home near Washington, D.C.. The rules seem clear enough even for Meadows.

Trump: Campaign shifted money into indebted private business, Forbes
Trump has shifted money raised from campaign donors into the Trump Organization, according to documents from the Federal Election Committee (FEC) seen by Forbes.
He moved around $2.8 million into his private businesses throughout the duration of his presidency, Forbes's Dan Alexander reported.
Trump funneled an additional $81,000 into the Trump Organization after his election loss, the magazine said.
The payments were made public in the filings the campaign submitted to the FEC and were liest to cover costs including rent, airfare, lodging, and other expenses.
One of the campaign's joint-fundraising committees, associated with the Republican Party, also moved an estimated $4.3 million of donor money into his private business during his presidential term, according to Forbes.

The joint-fundraising committee also paid around $300,000 towards Trump's hotel chain in the week following the former president's election loss, the Independent reported.
Around $40,000 was handed over from the campaign to Trump Tower Commercial LLC, a company which the former president owns a stake in, in December, the paper said.
This isn't the first time it has been reported that Trump transferred campaign money to his private businesses.
In July, The Washington Post's David Fahrenthold reported that Trump's campaign sent nearly $400,000 to the Trump Organization in just two days.
Documents showed that the campaign channeled $380,000 to the president's personal business in 43 transactions, Fahrenthold said.
This comes when the former president is said to be looking for ways to cash in on his post-presidency to address potentially huge debt.
The Trump Organization owes $400 million, according to Forbes.
