If Republicans somehow get control of one of two chambers of Congress in 2022, I guarantee you in 2024, if they don’t like the results of the election, they will not certify them and they will create a constitutional crisis, the likes of which we have never seen.

1. yup.

even without control of either chamber, they are setting up their state legislatures to override the popular vote results in their states.

2. Well, yeah

Republicans are through with all this democracy bullshit. With democracy, they can lose. Since they don't have the backbone to stomach a loss, clearly democracy must go.

3. i doubt it, they aren't remotely that unified

And because of that lack of unity (and part infighting on their end next election) they're not going to control jack shit.

That reminds me, next paycheck I need to bet more on predictit for our holding the House. Current odds has a 3x return if we week it, and I am certain our chances are far better than that.

4. They would have to have control of both chambers to not certify.

The law clearly states this would only happen when by simple majority the house and senate each vote not to certify.

Are the qgop willing to overturn the will of the ppl and nullify the vote? Some maybe many yes, but not sure if it would be enough to give them a simple majority in both chambers to do so.

5. The Republicans are going to act up every time they lose an election from now until the end of time

It’s working so well for them, whereas democracy not so much.

[Crunchy Frog]

6. Or they'll set things up so that they can't lose elections in the first place.

7. They will try...we won't let them!!

8. Somehow?...

Every move they are making
-State by state draconian voting laws
-Extreme gerrymandering
-Planned Trump rallies

They are aiming for both the house and senate

And with the traditional poor dem turnout at midterms

They will PROBABLY get it

That is why we HAVE to convince dems to show up this time
