That’s the whole goal this election. The conservatives are going to interfere with the election in as many places as they possibly can. All of the chaos they create they’ll then leverage to refuse to certify the election, then they’ll move proceed with a contigent election because the chaos they’ve created means we don’t have enough actual electoral votes to complete the election, then they’ll all vote Trump, and then someone who lost the electoral college and the popular vote will have stolen the election.

We’re absolutely fucked.

EDIT: I wonder if it’s possible for the current administration to do anything to impact this potential. You’d think the American people would support an executive order blocking contingent elections as it robs them of their vote. Short of something like that happening, I’m terrified that there’s nothing that can be done to stop them.

Do you think it would help or hurt the situation if Biden were to make a state of the union address and call out the imminent threat of Republican-led chaos causing this situation? Would shedding bright light publicly on it cause the people responsible to scurry away like the cockroaches they are?

What, are you gonna be on the front lines with your guns shooting? The overwhelming majority of people with this mindset have never held a firearm in their entire lives and have no idea what they’re even talking about. What are you even insinuating here? Is your end goal that we burn the entire country down because “wahhhhh both sides aren’t perfect”? Grow up, only children refuse to see greater good through compromise because they can’t see past not getting what they want. Single issue voters love to stick their head in the sand and pretend the one issue that they’re whinging about is the most important in the world.

Have fun standing on your “genocide” comment when you’re in a fascist dictatorship run by nazis. “but but but the genocide wah”

“The next election will be bloodless if the left lets it be” has been their rhetoric now for months, this is precisely why. Totally OK for them to illegally steal the election, but any attempt to stop them is viewed as some kind of incitement of war. Fuck these fascist pieces of shit. I really hope that there’s enough scrutiny and publicity given to their election stealing plans to prevent them.

I absolutely read it, I was replying to the comment that “every state needs to help make Harris a clear winner” by pointing out that the Republicans literally already made it impossible to make Harris a clear winner in GA.

But ok, tell me more about what I did and didn’t read.

Like GA, a battleground state, where they just made it legal for the elections board (3 Republicans and 2 Democrats) to refuse to certify the election results for absolutely no reason, indefinitely, without any burden of proof? Even if 100% of people in GA voted for Harris, they’d find some bullshit reason to refuse to certify the state’s results. Kemp is too much of a fickle piece of shit to stand up against it, so we’ve already lost the state in November.

Why do you think they keep saying “the transfer of power will be bloodless if the left lets it be”?

They’re not even hiding it.

This. THIS THIS THIS. More people need to be aware of this, the only thing that can be done at this point is mass awareness that they’re going to attempt to steal the election via the certification process. If in 4 years we haven’t been able to root out these fascists from the positions of authority there is no way we will be able to do so by November.

Everyone MUST be clear that this is how Trump plans to steal the presidency – he has been greasing these wheels now for years and he has enough support that he absolutely can do it. It’s not some far-fetched scheme, the Republicans have literally started legislating to ensure this is fully legal in battleground states and to @Boddhisatva@lemmy.world’s point, succeeded already in GA.

Make sure literally EVERYONE you know knows that this is the plan. It’s already underway and they will succeed if we don’t turn election certification denial into the poison pill that project 2025 is.

Georgia (ya know, a typical battleground state) just made it legal for the voting board to refuse to certify elections indefinitely without any burden of proof of malicious activity. It’s also 3-2 Republican on the voting board, so, I’m 100% sure it doesn’t matter if 100% of people vote for Harris, the Republicans will declare some kind of voting incongruety with absolutely no proof and refuse to certify the election. They’ve already refused to certify several elections in GA when it was illegal to do so and wouldn’t you know it, the Republicans in charge were never held accountable for it – instead they fucking legalized it.

This is the real threat to our democracy – it’s not an insurrection at the capital, it’s a bunch of loyalist fascist cronies being puppeteered by a madman hell bent on stealing the presidency.
