Rachel Maddow On Stephen Colbert Show Speaking About GOP Attempts To Deny The Election Results

This is a clip of Rachel Maddow on the Stephen Colbert Show speaking about how MAGA and the GOP are laying the ground work to contest the election. We need to get more attention on this issue. Even if we win (which I think that we will), the Trump election deniers are already in place. We need more people like Rachel Maddow and Marc Elias shining light on this issue (see Marc Elias' organization Democracy Docket-- https://www.democracydocket.com/ ) We need the Feds and the DOJ to be working with States and Localities to ensure the integrity of our election. Even if he loses, Trump is going to contest the election and try to overturn the results. I would like to hear constructive ideas from DUers as to what more we should be doing to work on this issue. We need to be prepared and proactive.

Marc Elias and Democracy Docket are private entities that are working to make sure that MAGA and Trump do not subvert the upcoming election. -- https://www.democracydocket.com ---MAGA and Trump are already at work trying to corrupt the election.

But what is the government doing to protect election integrity? What is the DOJ doing to work with States and Locals to ensure lawful elections? Does Marc Elias and Democracy Docket consult with DOJ or other government agencies?

It seems to me that the Feds should be working with States and Localities (and also private actors like Marc Elias and Democracy Docket) to protect our election integrity.

We need more focus on this issue NOW. It would be a mistake to leave this issue alone and then wake up November 6th to find that the election is contested and votes are not being counted and certified.

We need this issue to be talked about much more in the media and amongst Democrats. Right now the MAGA criminals are operating pretty much under cover of darkness. We need to shine a lot of light on their illegal attempts to corrupt the election results.
