Democrats prepare for Trump to disrupt the election
President Donald Trump's repeated claims that the presidential election will be rigged and his refusal to commit to a peaceful transition have ratcheted up Democratic fears Trump will mobilize the federal government to help him win in November, sparking furious preparations for a post-election counterattack.
Democrats are bracing for a wide range of seemingly improbable scenarios, covering everything from Trump trying to deploy federal law enforcement officials to the polls, to Republican state legislatures overruling a state's popular vote, to Trump declaring victory on election night when millions of mail-in ballots still have to be counted.
Democratic sources tell CNN the party's legal apparatus is preparing to respond to any potential scenario that arises, whether it's fighting disputed state counts in court, a state's slate of electors or the deployment of federal law enforcement officers to states.
The preparations may sound alarmist, but Democrats say they need to look no further than Trump's own rhetoric for reason to fear a scenario where the integrity of the presidential election -- and its result --- face a grave challenge.

I suppose that they could be researching case law and preparing a ton of legal briefs, but what else could they do?
