What's the plan when in Nov most red states will refuse to certify elections they lose?

[Eliot Rosewater]

Is anybody inside the Democratic Party talking about this inevitability?

Is there only so much you can do, like hope the courts hold, but if they get any election to the SC we know what they will do.

1. If you've decided such conspiracy theories are possible...

Then you've decided there's nothing Democrats can do.

FWIW no State has passed laws that let someone arbitrarily decertify a non-Presidential race.

3. Someone? No.

They were working in or maybe passed their legislatures being able to do it no?

[brooklynite]

5. No. The legislation you've heard about regarded Presidential elections.

11. It isn't a conspiracy theory that 19 states have passed 34 laws that make it easier to overturn...

...election results. More than 20 republican election deniers and liars are running for Secretary of State in their states. “It’s like putting arsonists in charge of the Fire Department.” Do you want them choosing how elections in your state are run? Closing polling places in heavily Democratic areas? Deciding that certain votes are not allowed? Making up more lies about nonexistent fraud so they can throw out ballots?

The people who don't think this is an emergency? You'll be the Susan Collinses of the world saying, "But Kavanaugh said he wouldn't overturn Roe!"

WAKE THE FUCK UP. Call your senators and beg them to take up voting rights again: switchboard: [phone]

Here's how to find the phone number of YOUR Senators.

13. Silly me, I thought calling me a CT for this of all things would be a personal attack, but guess not

Thank YOU for your post, by the way.

[Scrivener7]

2. I remember when people told us that no one would ever overturn Roe.

This fear of refusal to certify elections is not a conspiracy theory.

4. They didn't help Trump at all...I think it won't happen in 22 ...24 is the issue.

[Hoyt]

6. Doubt most red states will do anything like that, but not totally certain.

Courts held firm against trump, thank gawd.

[notinkansas]

7. Yeah, sure.

That was before all the current voter suppression shenanigans. And the takeover of election official positions.

There's a new animal to be vanquished here, and the courts may not be so reliable any more. Fight harder is the only option.

[Hoyt]

8. Not for convincing people believe their vote won't count, because it will and did in 2020.

[Eliot Rosewater]

12. NOT the point, of course. Sure hope someone is preparing for this.

Sure, of course vote. But they are planning on doing this, we know that. Rachel has talked about, etc. So someone has to be prepared.

[Eliot Rosewater]

9. Boy, I am so relieved

If you read a certain someone here, I guess we can add this to the LONG LIST of things that WONT EVER happen but of course did happen.

If we want to know who to blame in the end, of course it is the cons, but if we dont prepare for this likelihood, then we get to be blamed also.

[FelineOverlord]

10. This is mostly geared to the 2024 election

The Fascist Pigs in swing states (MI, WI, etc) are trying VERY HARD to get Trump-approved Secretaries of State elected that will refuse to certify elections that Dems win, and attempt to throw it to the Repigs.
