Fighting MAGA Election Fraud

I know that there are people working on this, but I am wondering if the issue should be getting more attention. The issue is- the likelihood that even if Kamala wins, Trump and MAGA are going to resist the results of the election. This includes fraud enacted by local election officials loyal to Trump and MAGA who will try to throw a monkey wrench into the results and block certification of a Harris win.

Is there something that Joe Biden and the DOJ can do to help insure the integrity of the election? After all, the Supreme Court has ruled that the President has Imperial Power, so why should Joe not use that power to ensure that the election is fair and just? A main "official action" by the President might be to ensure the integrity of the election, and the lawful and peaceful transfer of power. MAGA is going to resist the election results.

So again, there are people and organizations that are working on this issue, but the topic needs more visibility. What do you think?

Here is a link to the Wikipedia article for Marc Elias and also his important organization Democracy Docket.

...and garland's little speech today will do NOTHING the deter the crimes he KNOWS the rightwingers are going to commit.


He had an excellent opportunity to scare the hell out of anyone even THINKNG of carrying out the frauds we all KNOW they are planning, but instead, he basically told them the fbi might be "supporting" election workers after any violent attacks and said nothing at all about monitoring known suspects, or investigating questionable activity, and coming down hard on them BEFORE they have a chance to attempt a second coup. Nothing.
