Why it would be difficult for Trump to reverse the 2024 election results -- NBC

[ailsagirl]

Donald Trump has ramped up his baseless accusations that Democrats are plotting to “cheat” or “steal” the election, raising fears that the former president is setting the stage for an attempt to overturn the result if Vice President Kamala Harris wins.

But any effort to derail the electoral process would run up against an array of new guardrails this time around, legal experts say, making it unlikely that any such attempt would succeed. The new protections include: an electoral law Congress passed in the wake of the Jan. 6 insurrection, recent court rulings, more vigilance from state election officials and more aggressive law enforcement by agencies determined to avoid a repeat of violent scenes from the U.S. Capitol four years ago.

1. What Happens After Election Day? with Marc Elias, Rep. Jamie Raskin and Brian Tyler Cohen

Discusses in detail the efforts to safeguard election results from Trump treachery. I'm so glad we have Marc Elias fighting for us.

It's almost an hour but very informative ... and reassuring.

2. Um, sorry.

While it is true that the GOP will face roadblocks if they attempt to overturn the results of the 2024 election in the same way that they tried in 2020, the simple fact is they can and will try to overturn the results of the 2024 election in new ways. In Georgia, for instance, it sure looks like they will refuse to certify the results in specific (read, blue) counties thus preventing the state from certifying on time.

I hope I'm wrong, but I believe we will all be shocked by what they try next. The prize is unrestricted and permanent power in the richest and most powerful nation in world history; don't expect them to stop at anything.
