With the new laws they've been passing like SB02 in GA, this would not be illegal. Those laws allow Republicans to take over the election board and have an election czar appointed that can toss invalid (at the czar's reaction) votes. I've been trying to warn ppl...

We all have to be ready to take to the streets if that happens

On a side note, Mehdi's voice, accent and inflection are wonderful. If he read audiobooks I'd seriously get nothing done. The way he says "bipartisian" gives me chills. Another @NBC ROCKSTAR.

If a scenario like that really happened the country would devolve into a real civil war...no way that the public would let one party in Congress overturn a vote illegally without violence. That's just the facts as I see them. If SCOTUS went along it would certainly happen.

Yep. It’s insane you don’t hear this over @ @CNN. They still continue to frame republicans as “redeemable”. Dems have to take real action

This is an existential crisis, and we can't rely on Ds or media to save us. It's on us now. Everyone reading this thread needs to stop complaining and get busy doing something about it. Start by reading this, and then tell EVERYONE indivisible.org/guide

Which is why, no matter how difficult the repugnicans make it, however many roadblocks they try to erect, we have got to vote in 2022 to make sure they do not regain control of Congress. Our democracy hangs in the balance.

That would be Civil War...period. That is Putin having infiltrated the Republican Party and instituting a coup of a defacto dictatorship in the country. That...just can't stand. Period.

We have a Democratic-controlled Congress now. Why do Dems relinquish power? This may be our last opportunity to clean up and secure our elections.
