FTA:
When election night comes in November, it will be up to thousands of local election officials to certify election results in their counties. Among those election officials are scores of Donald Trump supporters who believe his lies and conspiracies about stolen elections " and will be in prime position to act on those beliefs to try to aid his campaign in November. In the swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, Rolling Stone and American Doom identified at least 70 pro-Trump election conspiracists currently working as county election officials who have questioned the validity of elections or delayed or refused to certify results. At least 22 of these county election officials have refused or delayed certification in recent years. Certification of election results is what legal experts consider a "ministerial task," and one required by state and local law. But as Trump's lies about the 2020 election have taken hold, Republicans nationwide have decided that certification provides them an opportunity to hear fraud allegations " and refuse to officially count their local votes. Republicans have refused to certify election results at least 25 times since Trump lost the 2020 election to President Joe Biden. "I think we are going to see mass refusals to certify the election" in November, says Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias. "Everything we are seeing about this election is that the other side is more organized, more ruthless, and more prepared."

Maddow points out frightening truth about Trump's lack of concern about votes
Rachel Maddow rounds up instances in which Donald Trump not only assures his supporters that if he is elected they won't have to vote in the future, but also that even for this 2024 election he does not need votes. Maddow posits that the reason Trump doesn't care about votes is that he intends to win by manipulating the administration of the voting tabulation.

This is exactly what I've been worried about for a while now. When I saw who was getting on the election committees. I didn't realize there were so many already in place. Wow.

The fascists are engineering this election so the Maga Supreme Court will hand the presidency to the would be dictator. House won't certify the election under bogus reasons so it goes to Maga SCOTUS to install the dime store Mussolini.

Lyrics excerpt...

... You have been my lighthouse In every storm You have given shelter You have kept me safe and warm And in my darkest nights You have shone your brightest lights You are my saving grace Darling, I love you ... You have been the anchor And I the chain Straining as we hold ourselves Together in the rain ...
...
You have been the anchor And I the chain Straining as we hold ourselves Together in the rain ...
Wow, they don't write lyrics like that anymore.

America has become a sick and twisted place, thanks to the GOP and Maga.
We used to have rules, that were abided by and followed.
If Fat Donnie is reelected, you can kiss goodbye the Social Safety Net. And, you can kiss goodbye what's left of the environment and environmental laws and regulations.
(ie. only an insane person or a totally corrupt and paid for person would vote for Fat Donald this fall)

Yep. Trump is America's Maduro. It is that plain. It is that simple.

If these elections officials cannot do what is required by law then they should be immediately suspended fired and replaced with officials who can obey the law.
Like anyone else would be.

The Democrats need to immediately marshall their legal corps to tackle this very real threat to election integrity...

Mark Elias and crew are already on it. This happened in 2020 in Arizona I think. It's an illegal act and as soon as the peeps threatened with prison and charges, their minds change.
