Message to maga election disruptors...

[BaronChocula]

Any attempt to intimidate voters with an "army" of maga operatives is not only illegal, but grounds for massive civil suits that will leave any members of this "army" broken and destroyed. Any person who is part of this scheme in any place will find themselves sued for everything they have. The republican national committee will distance itself from you and you will be alone to fight to an inevitable loss for yourself.

This also goes for republican legislators who think that overturning elections is among their official privileges. There is nothing that insulates you from litigation. Test that position at your peril.

1. It probably never occurred to the "alternate electors"

that they were committing felony criminal fraud.

This is going to be a battle of opposing armies of lawyers.

2. Sadly, perhaps a secondary or fallback purpose is to create chaos

Really all Republicans have to do is throw a monkey wrench into the election gears. Not by completely breaking elections, but by just sowing enough doubt that nobody trusts American elections any more, then refuse to fund efforts to fix it.

3. And then someone might ask,

What is the outcome of such actions?

[NullTuples]

6. Some one might, but would many ones? Enough ones?

[BaronChocula]

5. So should we do nothing or

should we fight back with our own campaign of intimidation which is what I suggest? If you present the consequence of losing everything to these kooks, some of them will think twice.

[NullTuples]

7. I'm convinced that real consequences are the only thing that can stop them.

[BaronChocula]

8. Loosing everything is a real consequence!

I don't understand why progressives are so averse to messaging on the offense. If we could only try it once, without all the second-guessing and "it won't work" line.

4. GOP will interrupt/intimidate Democratic voting hoping to disrupt voting

They hope that chaos will result in people not voting or votes being thrown out. If their operatives are arrested or killed they'll be fine with abandoning them.

Watch for people with guns, bats, etc attempting to end voting.
