Nothing is thwarted until they lose the election.

Vote. Vote in numbers too big to be manipulated.

A Play in Three Acts

But the pre-election phase is only Act I of this three-act play.

Act II is Election Day itself, where all manner of mischief is possible in an intense 24 hours. The spread of early voting has helped to reduce the overall potential impact of Election Day sabotage, but there are still risks — and importantly, what happens on Election Day can set the stage for Act III.

Act III is everything that happens post-election, from tallying the votes to challenging ballots already cast to recounts and certifications and ultimately election contests. It’s where close elections can be won or lost.

This article talks about "pre-election interference attempts," but doesn't say much about "during-election" or "post-election" attempts. Thwarting bullshit lawsuits is all well and good, but the author doesn't even contemplate the real possibility of fascist paramilitary boots on the ground physically stopping the process.

MAGA has had multiple plans for Before, During, and After the election, but unlike the feckless Biden administration, the 2026 Dems have anticipated that, and drawn up over 100 election interference scenarios, and planned strategies to defeat each one.

So far it is working, but we have a long ways to go. They will try to do stuff to suppress the vote on election day, but they won't work. A judge just told the DoJ to stop warning that he's sending out armed agencies to "watch the polls," an obvious threat.

Of course the real fun will come AFTER the election, when they start denying EVERYTHING, suing everybody with ridiculous claims, accusing, screaming, etc., but they will eventually lose anyway, and the Dems will take over Congress.

Then MAGA is going to get really squirrelly, since they absolutely cannot allow a 2028 election, or they will go to prison for the rest of their lives (or worse, in some cases). That means violence, and lots of it. Protesters, dissidents, immigrants, Dems, etc. He'll probably send troops to Iran, and start a draft. That will cause all sorts of protests that will get ugly, giving him the rationalization to end elections.

They want full, dictatorial control of America, and they think their path to it will be inciting violence. That's a dangerous poison to release from the bottle, as it can go against MAGA as easily as their enemies. That's the problem with MAGA, they never understand that their weapons are double bladed, and they are just as susceptible.

We will have a rough, violent time ahead of us for the next two years, but we will prevail. One thing that we can always count on with MAGA is their amazing Virtuosic Incompetence. It always beats them on the end, and it will beat them this time, too.

This article title illicits complacency.

They aren't going to give up that easily. Vote. And keep your eyes and ears peeled. And when they try again, protest, get rowdy, and don't stop.

On my way to vote now :)

If we don't make this too big to rig it won't matter and we have to overcome Musk's cheating.

You know his minions provided him with some fucked up plan-B, so be ready.
