Someone please talk me off this ledge...aka midterms...

[Ferrets are Cool]

The FBI going in and "collecting" ALL the voting information from the 2020 elections is the prelude for stealing the 2026 midterms.
All the Asshole in Chief has to do is send in the FBI to gather all the voting information, change it to his liking and declare a winner.
This "judge" who signed these warrents in GA should be disbarred. That may be hyperbolic, but that's how I feel atm.
Please explain how I am wrong.

[Coventina]

1. I'm right there with you.

[gab13by13]

2. I'm on the same ledge with you.

I posted yesterday that this wasn't about the 2020 election, the FBI stole the voter data.

[leftstreet]

3. I think it's actually worse

Why did Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence show up at the Fulton Co GA elections office raid?
Senator Mark Warner has some questions

@MarkWarner
Either Director Gabbard believes there was a legitimate foreign intelligence nexus – in which case she is in clear violation of her obligation under the law to keep the intelligence committees ‘fully and currently informed’ of relevant national security concerns – or she is once again demonstrating her utter lack of fitness for the office that she holds by injecting the nonpartisan intelligence community she is supposed to be leading into a domestic political stunt designed to legitimize conspiracy theories that undermine our democracy.

4. +1

10. Don't ascribe any particular competence to Tulsi Gabbard

She's crazy and bad at her job. If she is involved, whatever she tries will fail because she is both an idiot and a useful idiot.

[progressoid]

11. I met her briefly back when she was a Dem.

"useful idiot" is a good description of her. I'd add "opportunist."

[mr715]

12. And dalmatian puppy collector.

[leftstreet]

13. LOL true. She's just there for DNI presence

All of Trump's useful idiots are just there as agency entry points

Interesting to me that they're always women. Bondi, Noem, Leavitt, Gabbard...President Steffan Miller hiding behind their skirts

[CousinIT]

5. The Trump crime syndicate is corrupt to the core. We will NOT (IMO) have

free and fair elections in 2026 or 2028. We will have elections, but they will be deeply tampered with by Trump, Bondi, DoJ, and FBI, who will scream "FRAUD!" at every Democratic win in every state.

Elections will not be certified. Elected Dems will not be seated.

QUESTION: WHAT ARE DEMOCRATS AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DOING ABOUT THIS?

Anything?

[Wifes husband]

26. Please inform us what we can do about it

[CousinIT]

29. I got nothing except - SCREAM at your Dem reps if you have any ..

....demand that they and the Democratic Party (Ken Martin) HAVE PLANS to deal with the interference.

I've not heard any of them even MENTION what they intend to do about it.

What can WE do? Get the word out about interference, VOTE, and scream at reps.

Anybody got anything else?

6. 2026 Elections

The 119th Congress ends no matter what on 1/3/2027, meaning that Johnson no longer has the gavel as of that day. The 120th. Congress starts afresh on that day, Johnson and the republicans have zero constitutional authority at that point to refuse to seat the winners .

[Ferrets are Cool]

9. All this will happen before January.

[rso]

23. Elections

But the actual swearing and seating happens in January, at which time the 120th. Congress starts, and at which time Johnson and the rethugs’ majority is no longer in effect.

[Ferrets are Cool]

25. Which gives the Pedo in Chief TWO months to steal the ballots, have them changed to his liking

and declaring a R the winner. It can and probably WILL happen.

[Cirsium]

27. So?

That is not relevant.

"Republicans have zero constitutional authority?" When has that stopped them?

[hlthe2b]

7. Damn MSNOW had the live Fulton County press conference on & the question as to legal strategy

came up and was just about to be turned to the County Attorney to answer and they F...king tune out and back to Anna Cabrara. I was screaming so loudly, I was afraid the UPS guy might have heard me! LOL

Well, I hope they have ... something.

[Blue Owl]

8. trump is no longer playing by any rules whatsoever

We need some drastic action to reign this unhinged, demented criminal in.

[Warpy]

14. GOPs just KNOW that most of the people vioting Democratic are in graveyards

because no person who's alive and paying attention would never vote against their Lard & Savior.. It's a fishing expedition and when those have happened in state, the fraud they have found fraud that is vanishingly small and mostly GOP. That happened herre in NM during his first term and they found 4 cases of fraud (yes, FOUR) and all were GOP, 3 of them Texans who had voted there and then crossed the border to vote here at their vacation property. They were never prosecuted, of course, but their NM registration was pulled.

However, thiss bunch might use Re-publican fraud as a pretext to toss out the state's results, something that would triugger a true constitutional crisis, but I find that unlikely. I also find it highly unlikely that a blue state will simply turn over such information to the Feds without a compelling reason to do so and extortion isn't a compelling reason.

Now you can talk me off my own "worst that can happen" ledge, that the election goes off without a hitch and this administration has pissed off as many people as we think they have and it's not a Democratic victory, it's a huge rout for the GOP. I can se Fatso blowing a fit and trying to shut down Congress invoking the Insurrection Act and declaring martial law. I don't see hm getting very farwith that, but it will mean a few months of total chaos while the 6 constitution haters on the bench are forced to rule against him if they want to keep their own cash flow positive. The chaos will most likely involve citizen violence as well as military volence against us. The worst that can happen? The military takes over. That's the long shot part. Fatso's fit will happen. Chaos after he overreacts might happen. The military takeover is a long shot but well within the realm of the possible.

[Ferrets are Cool]

18. " it's not a Democratic victory, it's a huge rout for the GOP"

Why would he throw a fit in this instance?

[themaguffin]

15. States run elections. He can't stop. Yes, there will be fuckery, but this is why he was hellbent on gerrymandering

[Ferrets are Cool]

17. No, he can't stop the elections, but that is not what is going on here.

His regime has confiscated ALL the votes. Every bit of data. Just imagine them doing this after the midterms in each House race in which they lose. He could then manipulate the votes and declare HIS OWN WINNER.
That is the scary part.

[themaguffin]

19. well, then that will be scorched Earth. He already had to back peddle in MN. Fuckery will continue, but it..

...I refuse to doom about it. It's not that simple.

[Ferrets are Cool]

20. Then why isn't it scorched earth now? We haven't even been able to see the warrant that was issued.

Why isn't it front page news on every broadcast? We know the answer to that.

[themaguffin]

22. It is, but if shit happened across the country it's still massively bigger. It's not negating the seriousness of

what's happening now.

[Cirsium]

28. That doesn't matter

I don't know why people keep repeating "states run elections" as though that meant anything.

[themaguffin]

32. It absolutely matters that states run elections.

[wiggs]

16. Assume the worst...the WORST...from this administration and you'll be closer to reality than giving them

the benefit of the doubt. More times than not.

[dalton99a]

30. There is no bottom to their lawlessness, corruption, and depravity.

[MaeScott]

21. Dems didn't bother to investigate anomalies in the 2024 elections

..and here we are. Dancing to His Tune of “ stolen election “
Opposite is always the truth with them.

[bigtree]

24. nope. danger ahead

...vigilance.

[Dan]

31. My thoughts

From what I understand - The warrant was from a Prosecutor in Missouri and was authorized by a Judge in Missouri - both of them well known Election Deniers.

Second - there is the question of their legitimacy due to the Statute of Limitations.

Third - there is no chain of custody from the Boxes taken from Fulton County - so no legitimate court is now going to accept any evidence from whatever authorities presents them as evidence.

Fourth - Elections are State controlled, individual states would have to give up their authority over elections for the Federal government to take control. I am still wondering how that could happen because to me there would have to be a total breakdown of State control to vacate their role in Elections.

Elections are still controlled on a local level with staff.

The concern is always over the tabulation and the testing of the machines software (there is a term for that which I can’t remember now, old age) which checks and validates the counting prior to the election. There was a question during 2024 that ‘someones’ posted updates after the software had been verified.

There are laws regulating how close Law Enforcement (and in theory ICE) can be to the polling places during an election.

So, there are ways to corrupt an election - maybe via software - but each Candidate can request a hand count (expensive if outside the % margins) which is what Kamala should have requested in the swing states - which can verify the official machine counts. Changing ballots and/or replacing them with rigged ones would be one expensive understating to say the least.

So, maybe, just maybe crawl back a little from the ledge .

Logic and Accuracy test is the term used for software validation, I think (L&A).
