2020 Redux? Army of MAGA Election Officials Prepare to Challenge Results If Trump Loses

[Uncle Joe]

As voters across the United States head to the polls, we speak with New York Times writer Jim Rutenberg about how Donald Trump may try to preemptively declare victory and challenge election results. The former president has ramped up claims Democrats are "a bunch of cheats" and preemptively cast doubt on a win by Vice President Kamala Harris, following a similar playbook as 2020 when he baselessly claimed the election was stolen. Rutenberg spoke to pro-Trump election officials in battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania who say they are ready to refuse to certify local election results as part of a wide-ranging effort to throw the system into disarray. Rutenberg says after the failed insurrection of January 6, 2021, many in Trump's orbit had a clear goal for 2024: "We have to go local." He also discusses the Electoral Count Reform Act of 2022 that makes it harder to stop the final certification of results.

1. Let them challenge. They still need evidence.

They had none last time, they won't have it this time. Whiny crybabys, sore losers, gullible cultists.

...."pro-Trump election officials in battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania who say they are ready to refuse to certify local election results"... not know they have to certify by law?
