Conservatives are already lining up to try and steal the 2024 election for Trump. Democrats need to stop this now.

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2024/05/conservatives-will-try-to-steal-2024.html

With myriads of election officials leaving because of the threats of violence, the 2024 election is increasingly at risk of being stolen from the President and the Democratic party. I sincerely hope that there are people on top of this who will go to equal lengths to stop it.

Who ever heard of one of the states refusing to put a political party's nominee on the ballot because their nominating convention was late? But that's what Ohio is attempting to do. What that should do is wake up every non-conservative voter anywhere inside its boundaries to a determination not to allow that to happen, and a turnout in this one that hands Trump a beating he won't forget in a state for a long time.

What that tells me is that there must be evidence of a significant risk that Biden could carry Ohio in 2024. Otherwise, why bother?

But stuff like this is starting to happen everywhere. What's to keep some of these kooks from determining not to certify ballot totals they don't like? Or from attempting to stop slow counts from counting? Or from destroying ballots that are mailed in? Or from any other kind of shenanigans aimed at making sure their unelectable candidate is elected, or can at least contest his loss?

This is a serious threat to our democracy. It truly is.

They WILL try everything they possibly can to get back in the driver seat, they have literally nothing to lose.

to the civil rights division of DOJ, at least that's what I was told 2 years ago when public officials began quitting in droves.

I finally figured out that this is an area of democracy that does actually need donations to be able to defend democracy. Can't give much but I can give something each month.

You really have to ask? They don't need a reason other than to be dicks.
Being an asshole is a core tenet of the party now.
