I KNEW IT! God dammit! Greg Palast: "Prepare for November's Quiet Coup"

97. I think that Elias is a good enough lawyer that he could argue

on behalf of the voters whose voting rights are specifically mentioned in constitutional amendments and protected by US Federal law. If state election officials refuse to certify an election, they are disenfranchising all the voters in the state who are protected under federal law and the constitution. Since that includes POC, all women, 18 year olds, and people with disabilities, it would likely be 50% or more of voters in the state. The only people not specifically mentioned in the constitution on voting rights are White males, although you might argue that by specifically setting the voting age at 18, any citizen 18 or over has a right to vote, just like any natural born citizen of 35 or older has the right to be president.

But, aside from voting rights, conspiring in advance of the election to not certify a state's election, as is happening among members of one party in other states besides Georgia, is a conspiracy to overthrow an election and the federal government. Add to that the fact that an organization affiliated with that party, the Heritage Foundation, has created a plan to dismantle the federal government, and a member of the Heritage Foundation, Kevin Roberts, has stated that the foundation and the Republican candidates are bringing a revolution to the US that will be bloodless IF the left (the other party) allows it. That is a conspiracy to overthrow the US government, which is a federal felony.

So it looks like there are legal grounds to stop this political coup against the US, which could become a physical coup according to the warning from Kevin Roberts. This is the same party that already attempted a coup by physical force on J6.

I do not believe that the federal government is powerless to act against this insurrection. I do not believe that President Biden is willing to let it happen when he has taken an oath to protect and defend the constitution. Same applies to Democratic members of Congress (and maybe to some rational Republicans in Congress). The constitution is under imminent threat if the conspiracists carry out their plan to disrupt the election process in order to take over the government and dismantle it.
