I’m more worried about them literally shredding votes. There are 70 some MAGA reality deniers working in election offices in all the battleground states.
It’s been proven time and time again that these people are willing to risk everything to help their cult leader “win”.
This election will be the most litigated in history, there will be violence and it will be the biggest shit show in U.S. history. There is no way MAGA weirdos just allow a *black woman* to win.

Not certifying the election will only delay the inevitable.
Trump isn’t in office…..
Unlucky_Clover on
Not enough faced punishment last time, so I highly doubt they’re that worried this time. Trump has already talked about their people being in the election process, so it’s enough to start an investigation.

Is it just me, or shouldn’t “election denial” disqualify one from having a job anywhere in elections? Why are these people employed or allowed to volunteer in an election?
found_allover_again on
There is no guarantee that they will, and in time, though!
We know how fast Merrick moves, and there’s the SCROTUS to side with these fascists’ feelings that there was fraud!
They’re the same fuckers who valued Christo-corporate feelings more than actual science to take away health care from employees.

Is there anywhere that keeps a tally of how many people have gone to jail for trump, and for gow many days. A websife or electronic billboard that says for example: 675 people have spent a total of 10,475 days in jail for trump. He has spent zero. Would go hard to show these fools where they can end up.

I have NEVER seen SO many fools go to the slaughter for any political “cause” in my entire 73 years on planet Earth.
Rudy Giuliani had busted the mob in New York City using the RICO laws like NO one else before.
Withstood the 9/11 nightmare from hell.
Rudy KNEW about Trumps business dealings and still goes down for Trump.
Then, all of those convicted for January 6th.
The only people who have benefited from Trump are defense attorneys. Real freaking economic development my ass.

Media and law orgs need to smarten up. The soft word ‘could’ makes the claim lame. Refusal to certify results is a crime or not? Personal preference for a candidate isn’t a deciding factor. Are they doing their job or not?

My solution is they are stripped of citizenship, put on a plane to a random, poor country, and dropped off.

Good. This is what they need to really push this and have serious process and protection in place so no militia or other bat shit crazy politicians don’t think twice about interfering with who people voted for. This goes for sides. If we don’t, we won’t ever have a normal Presidential election or any election for that matter.

This will only be the case if Harris does what Biden didn’t have the balls to do. There were a **lot** of counties and districts with election officials who refused to certify in 2020 and 2022. There were **shockingly** few consequences for these flagrant violations of the law and many of these bad actors remain in their positions to interfere again. Biden continued the utterly contemptuous and failed political strategy of playing civility politics with traitors, election manipulators, Christo-fascists, and bigots of all kinds. It’s the disease affecting the last five decades of Democratic strategy. The foolish belief that Republicans are “good people with different opinions”, and not brain diseased fascists with values fundamentally incompatible with civil society who will gleefully see you and all of your friends into gas chambers. The Harris campaign seems to be the first Democratic campaign in my lifetime that is operating under the recognition that Republicans cannot be treated with civility, nor should their ideas and beliefs be considered with anything but contempt. “Severe punishments” require a willingness to make the hard choice and put these criminals behind bars, and not just the rank and file. The seditious, anti-democratic, anti-American leadership infecting the halls of federal and state legislatures.

And they care becaussssssssssse? Nobody on the right is facing much in the way of a consequence yet, so what does it matter? The republicans gotta republic… they’re going to choose not to certify if they know they can get away with it.
So until people start saying that officials “WILL” face severe punishment instead of saying “could” face severe punishments they’re not going to change.

No they won’t. We have watched in horror over the past decade as politicians,wealthy people and corporations routinely violate all kinds of laws and norms without so much as a slap on the wrist. The blatant disregard they show for our laws should be met with heavy punishment like us normal people get over a lil weed or something similar. I want one simple thing and that’s for the rule of law to be enforced equally on everyone/thing that’s in our country.

And yet 2020 happened and few repercussions resulted. They will demand proof there isn’t fraud, not that there is. That’s the logical fallacy we are up against. Just like how Challenger blew up because management required that engineers prove it wouldn’t be a successful launch, rather than require they prove it will be a successful launch.
