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. It’s all hands on deck.

AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE REGISTERED AND IN ACTIVE STATUS.

4. I should check in to see if I can be a poll watcher on our side but it likely wouldn't matter. But the one

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.

This is a continued direct attack on election integrity and American democracy and the Constitution and the U.S.A.

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.

anywhere they expect trouble. Don't wait until republican voter obstruction costs us the election.

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

I wonder how much we can trust the staff of DOJ after 4 years of trump packing it.

 

Think. Again.

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.

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.
