I'm surprised they haven't said that "a vote for a Democrat shall count as 3/5 of one vote"

give them time.

Or simply declare the Democratic Party to be a domestic terrorist organization, making votes for any Dem candidates to be a felony.

Trump and the Republicans are going to get smoked in November and they know it. They will try every dirty trick they can think of to prevent that outcome, and they may make a difference on the margins, but they can only cheat their way to a win when it's close, and as we have seen repeatedly over the past year, it is unlikely to be close. But once defeated then the real "fun" will begin. They will scream about massive voter fraud. They will scream about illegal aliens voting. They will scream about Democrats cheating. They will file hundreds of lawsuits that they will lose. And then come January, they will try to refuse to seat the victorious Democrats. But they will lose. Why, because we, the people, will not stand for it. Oh, we won't debase ourselves or our Capitol with another J6 terrorist attack, but we will enforce the outcome of the election no matter what Trump thinks.

In the meantime, every citizen who can must pressure elected republicans to follow the Constitution and the law, and stop any interference by the regime in our elections and OUR VOTE. They will silence us if they can. We must fight against that now.

I agree completely. Election chaos is the goal. We the people are prepared, and I expect that millions will be protesting during the months ahead. Meanwhile the Democrats have to be in every county in America educating local election officials about election law, means to make voting, tabulating and reporting secure, and get them prepared for local intimidation and law suits. The days of retired senior citizens running elections as their civic duty have been terminated by the Republicans. The real campaign is the count. And that is going to be hand to hand combat.

GOP: States' rights!

Also GOP: Except when we don't like those states...or at any other point of our choosing.

Not sure if it would be making any difference now, since we have a gangster government, but if the Dems ever return to power, the #1 priority should be to pass an updated version of 2021’s “Bill 1.” Protecting and expanding the right to vote should be Job 1.

Not the price of eggs.

And when Maduro agrees to a plea deal that includes evidence that Venezuela interfered in the 2020 election, backed up by ‘evidence’ given by a former CIA official to a Puerto Rican federal judge (hence Tulsi’s entrance into this drama), and with all Fulton county ballots now in possession of the FBI, Trumps claims that he won 2020 are legitimized. Meaning he not only won the 2016 and 2020 elections, but a third term in 2024 rendering our constitution mute and setting up the legitimacy of his fourth term. He is not planning on leaving. He is renovating ‘his’ house, ‘his’ city, ‘his’ country with ‘his’ militia. This is the narcissist malignant dream of the Queens real estate mob boss. This is not conspiracy belief, this is observation of the present with the understanding of history. It was never about narcoterrorism or oil. His sycophants have executed their plan well and the king is ready.

I have always liked this silly argument... Trump believes he won the 2020 election, many R's say or think so also. That would mean he was elected President in 2020. The second time he was elected. The 22nd amendment says no person shall be elected to President more than twice. Nothing about being confirmed or serving the term. So if you believe Trump was truly elected in 2020 it follows that his 3rd election in 2024 is unconstitutional and he should be impeached and removed from office.

These people are working hard to end the American experiment and replace it with a theocracy lead by a criminal.

If you're a white man, your vote is safe. Anybody else, there's going to be a crapshoot at the polls. The heat in the country will be so high come November, people will want to vote by mail and Putin has convinced Twump that is not the way despots get elected.

Not sure all white male votes will be safe … that’s quite a leap .

as always the idiot cannot keep his mouth shut... it's not a "plot" if he's saying it out loud... if anyone wonders why he could never be in the inner circles of the mob it's because he cannot keep his mouth shut.. he is a liability in their world

With a few notable exceptions, Republicans in power are not stupid and realize they cannot win on a level playing field.

It’s hard to see how he will be stopped when the U.S. hasn’t made a single arrest for countless crimes he and his family and administration have made! Does anyone in the military follow their pledge? Why bother pretending they will protect us? The seditionists in the WH must be physically removed and put in prison! 10 years of crimes, 34-CONVICTIONS, conviction of RAPE, Violations of the Constitution, have resulted in no punishment at all. What will National Guard, FBI, military do to safeguard us and elections.

In the end, I suspect that the Supreme Court will once again find an originalist argument for overturning any injunctions against the divine orders from the Holy Orifices of Saint Donald. Barring that, he will use the various agencies (gangs) of the DHS crime syndicate to seize control of the ballot machines, arrest poll workers for facilitating “voter fraud”, and arrest or simply execute voters who are believed to be voting fraudulently. The police will provide crowd control and urge for everyone to be peaceful and respectful. The military will rightly point out this is an internal matter and they can’t protect us from a madman who wants to slaughter his own people for entertainment. And Congress will wring its hands and perhaps issue articles of impeachment that will fail because there will be a handful of selected Democrats who suddenly discover “bipartisanship.”

This is serious and good for you summarizing everything the felon and his minions are doing to corrupt the mid-terms. Election chaos is the goal. It is in the authoritarian playbook: destroy the integrity of elections. Make people doubt the results. No matter what Trump is going to yell "fraud" and seek to have the results nullified or changed, and get Little Mikey and Thune to deny seating the new Members and Senators in January 2027. As I wrote, chaos is the goal.

I disagree with any Democratic effort to defend itself on voting. Democrats should go on the offensive. Say that the 2024 election was rigged. Which it was, but whether true or not, I don't care. Show examples. Asking for voting machines ballots in swing states. Playing defense means one isn't scoring. But Democrats won't because they're a namby-pamby party who is complicit because they're owned by corporations and, except for a few, only care about eating from the same trough as Republicans.

Trump & Co platform lies, propaganda & threats of prosecution on MSM & right wing outlets to ‘debunk’ reality.

The efforts to undermine elections are foundational with Trump & his regime.

Government officials, judges and elected leaders overwhelmingly Republican have publicly acknowledged confidence in the 2020 election. https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/its-official-election-was-secure. BrennanCenter.org 12/11/20

A former senior Justice Department official in both Republican & Democratic administrations called out the corrupt intervention by Trump into his knowingly false, completely debunked claims of 2020 election fraud. “It is extremely dangerous to our democracy and a shocking abandonment of years of sound policy for the president to be directly involved in the conduct of domestic criminal investigations, especially one that seeks to redress his personal grievances and to make the director of national intelligence an instrument of his political will. t’s now more clear than ever that the independence of the Department of Justice and the F.B.I. is completely compromised and they are essentially under the direction and control of the White House.”
