2. Isn't it part of his coming attempt to steal electoral votes?

3. The entire nation, and planet, knows VP Biden is President Elect.

My favorite guess for how astonishingly clean overall our federal elections are this time is that the Republicans sabotaged their own plans for stealing elections by causing intense scrutiny by our national security agencies and unprecedented public attention to the elections.

The attention continues. They will not be taking out anyone who was elected this time, and the new administration will take care of any illegal packing.

4. Could they do anything to change the rules for this election for Prez or would it be

for later elections. Also can Biden change them when he isinthe WH

5. I imagine this is for later election, plus to stop any investigations into past actions

committed during past elections.

6. The Securest Election Ever Is The Word That They Put Out....

for all of us to hear. Now when they stack the electors in their favor - they can turn around and say - hey - but it was the securest election ever.

7. Georgia . . ...

run off on Jan. 5th and 2022 . .

But I think President Biden can rectify it once he is in office.

mcturtle again will refuse to with the president elect, but alas, I think the president elect has plans as well.

8. I think I would rather have this piece of shit drop dead more than Trump

9. Months ago, Rachel Maddow had her on her show where she said they might be up to something

The FEC has been without a quorum for most of the last 14 months, preventing it from holding meetings and enforcing laws throughout nearly the entire presidential campaign. The commission faces a backlog of more than 350 matters, according to Ellen Weintraub, the lone Democratic commissioner.

Had to correct the link a bit to get it to work:

The FEC would have three Republicans, two independents and only one Democrat if the Senate moves forward.

Frightening stuff, and it's happening as early as next week.
