2020 election question!

Ok i feel it's possible the RETHUGS, now in control could have a plan to completely tie this election up in the courts! (They do have control) Could they could sue to stop results of States controlled by RETHUGS? Throwing the whole fucking election into a complete mess! What could we do to stop this? Am i over worried?

Someone I know is thinking about registering repub to vote against certain people in the primary.

If people reg. r. for the primary, then vote blue in the general, can it make a difference? Would certainly add a dimension to the election.

It is happening already... And I REALLY, REALLY hope dems are prepared for battle. Rather, I hope they have already started to do battle, whatever form that requires.

There would have to be someone with the standing to sue each state, or it would not work.

I am not sure I understand what else you are asking.

Republicans have nothing but contempt for the will of the people and are perfectly content with their minority rule.

They’ll do anything to avoid losing, including specious, unwarranted court challenges.

They would not be able to tie this up and the Chief Justice Roberts would not allow this to happen. Plus, if that did happen Speaker Pelosi would become the President.
