Like GA, a battleground state, where they just made it legal for the elections board (3 Republicans and 2 Democrats) to refuse to certify the election results for absolutely no reason, indefinitely, without any burden of proof? Even if 100% of people in GA voted for Harris, they'd find some bullshit reason to refuse to certify the state's results. Kemp is too much of a fickle piece of shit to stand up against it, so we've already lost the state in November.

Why do you think they keep saying "the transfer of power will be bloodless if the left lets it be"?
They're not even hiding it.
This. THIS THIS THIS. More people need to be aware of this, the only thing that can be done at this point is mass awareness that they're going to attempt to steal the election via the certification process. If in 4 years we haven't been able to root out these fascists from the positions of authority there is no way we will be able to do so by November.
Everyone MUST be clear that this is how Trump plans to steal the presidency -- he has been greasing these wheels now for years and he has enough support that he absolutely can do it. It's not some far-fetched scheme, the Republicans have literally started legislating to ensure this is fully legal in battleground states and to @Boddhisatva@lemmy.world's point, succeeded already in GA.
Make sure literally EVERYONE you know knows that this is the plan. It's already underway and they will succeed if we don't turn election certification denial into the poison pill that project 2025 is.
Georgia (ya know, a typical battleground state) just made it legal for the voting board to refuse to certify elections indefinitely without any burden of proof of malicious activity. It's also 3-2 Republican on the voting board, so, I'm 100% sure it doesn't matter if 100% of people vote for Harris, the Republicans will declare some kind of voting incongruety with absolutely no proof and refuse to certify the election. They've already refused to certify several elections in GA when it was illegal to do so and wouldn't you know it, the Republicans in charge were never held accountable for it -- instead they fucking legalized it.
This is the real threat to our democracy -- it's not an insurrection at the capital, it's a bunch of loyalist fascist cronies being puppeteered by a madman hell bent on stealing the presidency.
I'll believe it when I see it. I'm running a 10900KF running at 4.2GHz with a 4090 and spinning in a circle on Koboh still drops my FPS to 10-12 from ~110-120 (even with RT fully disabled, since the implementation of it in this game is hot garbage). This game was the straw that broke the pre-order back for me, haha. I played the original on PC and loved it -- was surprised as hell to see the sequel have so many problems that the first didn't.
He doesn’t intend to win this election by votes, he intends to win this election through actions like this.
Johnson will refuse to certify the results of the election that put Democrats in the House, claiming some kind of bullshit irregularities with no proof, leaving the House controlled by the Republicans. They’ll then claim irregularities in the presidential election and force a contingent election where they have a 100% chance of electing Trump no matter what the public votes.
More people need to be made aware that this is 100% legal for them to do (this is a perfect example of them making it even MORE legal to completely subvert election certification in a battleground state with no proof), and more people need to be aware that it is almost certainly what they will try. The only thing that can possibly stop it is significant awareness by the mass population of Americans and significant publicity (similar to how mass awareness of Project 2025 turned it into a poison pill).
We'll be lucky if he disappears for 4 years when he loses (more likely Johnson will refuse to certify election results or enough red states will claim irregularities to move to a contingent election where he wins even having significantly lost the electoral college), but there's a 0% chance he won't be back in 4 years to try again even if he does actually shut the hell up for 4 years after losing.

There is nothing in this world I would love more than to be wrong about this, that's for sure.
He doesn’t intend to win this election by votes and his plan doesn’t need votes in the future.

The worse that Dipshit Don loses, the stronger his argument about the vote being stolen will be, and the more his ravenous shitheel base will eat it up.

He's saying exactly what he means. He doesn't intend to win this election by votes and won't need votes in the future no matter what happens.

It doesn't matter what Trump says or does at this point, him getting the votes isn't the plan.

I absolutely read it, I was replying to the comment that "every state needs to help make Harris a clear winner" by pointing out that the Republicans literally already made it impossible to make Harris a clear winner in GA.
But ok, tell me more about what I did and didn't read.
