In an interview with Alex Jones, Roger Stone urged Donald Trump to consider several draconian measures to stay in power if he loses the election due what he called voter fraud.
The measures included having federal authorities seize ballots, having FBI agents and Republican state officials physically block voting under the pretext of preventing voter fraud, using martial law or the Insurrection Act to carry out widespread arrests, and nationalizing state police forces.

anybody from voting and you can't speak to anybody going in to vote and if they are
with in 100' (i think that is right) of the door.

(70,489 posts)... order in a heartbeat. @ polling locations I have worked at one of the biggest problems
I have had is people giving out informational ballots too close to the door. I used to get
there early and make sure the 100' line is clear to everybody.
BTW this is Stone talking out of his ass too. They don't have enough people to do this unless
they try to get some boogaloo boys or neo nazis and in no way would those people would pass
muster on getting credentialed to be poll watchers.

(15,575 posts)In talking about putting down protests very quickly if people take to the streets after he declares victory.
So, invoking the Insurrection ACT seems to be on their minds - wonder if Barr has mentioned it.
They will use it to clamp down on any progressive responses to orchestrated Brooks Brothers riots like in 2000. Theres been a lot of grass roots organizing going on to provide rapid response if there are attempts to seize ballots or stop counting, and it sounds like the Trump campaign is preparing their own response...

(32,754 posts)2 things we need to remember. They want us to feel afraid, without options or power..that is patiently false.
The other, dotard and his ilk say a lot of shit that rattles us to the core....most of which is unachievable, or just plan loony bin shit. Gop critters arent going to let them stop the voting! Their terms are up if not re-elected as is the idiot king. Stop the voting and his term ends on 1/20/2021 at noon and madam speaker becomes the interim president
He desperate and it shows...he knows hes going to lose

(25,962 posts)Part of the reason for outrageous behavior is to change the topic. No doubt fallout from the Woodward Tapes is still giving trump fits and he desperately wants people to talk about anything else.

We don't have to listen to this crap, but I'm sure Trump is listening.
