thereafter, to either prevent or lessen the opportunity for shenanigans?
And if you are able bodied, sign up to work at the polls. If you have legal expertise, volunteer to help voters. If your state allows, be a poll watcher. Its all hands on deck.
AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE REGISTERED AND IN ACTIVE STATUS.

(15,359 posts)polling place in my Idaho town that might be a target is withing walking range. I can at least be down there at the start and check things out.
That would be the downtown polling place where the most lower income and minority voters would show up. That might be the only polling place they would be worried about here. Mine is a church in a more affluent area.

If you don't support a fair, accurate, complete count and the processes, checks, systems that get us there, you are potentially working against US democracy, and you shouldn't be a public official in charge of election anything.

They should be able to sniff out a lot of plans and have people in there stopping it on election day if possible.

(22,456 posts)Yes, the election-denier election officials WILL still try to pretend they can refuse to certify, but at least we can have solid ground to counter their attempts.

(4,728 posts)not afraid of Garland acting quickly to charge them, chaos ensues, the vote goes to either the House or the Reich caucus on the court. All they have to do is: nothing.
Like the crowd on J6, they figure if they can win, T will fix it.
I'm beginning to think of UN observers. Having the eyes of the world might help.
