1. K&R

2. This is why the results have to be

"too big to rig and too real to steal."

[orthoclad]

3. The Right is planning to steal

A number of strategies:
-voter suppression
-intimidation by "monitors"
-mass challenging of votes and voters
-chaos: refuse to certify
-orgs like True The Vote and militias

If they can get the reported numbers close, then their pet officials in local office will refuse to certify. It will then become a legal issue, maybe constitutional. Their pet Extreme Court will then step in to do it's 6-3 job.

US voters are roughly divided into thirds. Red Team and Blue Team are close in numbers and will turn out. Gray Team, the other third, did not vote in 2020, for a variety of reasons. We need to motivate them to vote against Trump. The most successful way will be to listen to their concerns and take them seriously.

It will be harder for the Right to Screw The Vote with massive numbers opposing them. Beat the Cheat!

Marc Elias is fighting the legal fight against Screw The Vote. We need an army of lawyers acting BEFORE the election. Once the Right has power, it will NOT relinquish it.
