Voter suppresion/"stealing the election" megathread

[DaleCooper]

I actually think that Bevin's attempt to stay in office in the immediate aftermath of losing reelection is a pretty good foreshadowing of what Trump does if he loses, as well as how the Republican Party will react. The big difference is that Bevin didn't have the slavishly faithful cult that Trump does, so that will be much uglier.

This is pretty extreme. I think we all expected them to fight like hell to invalidate ballots received after election day, but for them to try and get rid of ballots that were accepted on or before election day and invalidate them purely because they haven't been counted yet is basically a tactic one would expect in a quasi-fascist banana republic.

I still maintain that this strategy is so cartoonishly corrupt and anti-democratic that it won't even be heard in court. If the Trump team's case is purely that votes shouldn't be counted because they are likely to be for his opponent, then I bet that those cases will be thrown out and the appeals unheard. That said, I am glad that Biden's got thousands of lawyers on standby because he needs to be prepared for this kind of thing.
