A lot of what needs to be done is making sure that the Harris win is large enough that you can’t easily claim that a handful of ballots should be tossed and change the outcome. That means:

  • Check your voter registration — part of the Republican strategy has long been invalidating registrations so people can’t vote
  • Volunteer — nothing in the world quite like talking to people.
  • Donate — money is used for everything from ads to voter turnout operations
  • Organize; be prepared to turn out with others in your community to actively object to any effort to ignore your votes

    The Republican party has been making a real effort to weaken institutions and things came remarkably close to killing members of congress. They literally had a gallows outside and gave interviews saying how they planned to hang people.

      Yes of course they are making those efforts and saying those things. I’m suggesting that they are disorganized and stupid so the likelihood if success is infinitesimally small.

      Also the US capitol has been attacked in the past. They have had escape systems in place for ages, especially from during the Cold War. There are so many resiliency and fallback plans. Congress can just pick up and continue in a secure location if they have to.

        I think they’ve learned from past disorganization, and are likely to be a lot better next time.
