***Update: This article was published at 7 am Eastern on Wednesday morning. A few hours it was revealed the right-wing majority on the Supreme Court would allow Virginia to purge suspected noncitizens from voter rolls.
It’s election night. Kamala Harris has won the electoral college by taking the Rust Belt states. She’s at 270. However, she barely edges out Trump in Pennsylvania by around 9,000 votes. The majority exhales and sighs relief that an aspiring dictator and twice-impeached criminal was defeated yet again. Everyone begins celebrating.
But Republicans and the conservative majority of the Supreme Court decide to pull one last rancid rabbit out of their black robes. They decide to reboot the 2000 election and work in concert with the majority of the GOP to throw sand in the gears and steal the election for Trump.
Is it implausible? No, according to journalist Ian Millhiser, who covers the Supreme Court and the Constitution for Vox. For the past two weeks, Millhiser has been sounding the alarm and trying to inform Americans of Republican judges' ongoing machinations to muck up the election. If you think this is alarmist, then I’d like to remind you about the January 6th insurrection and the conservative Supreme Court majority giving Presidents “absolute immunity” so Trump can escape criminal liability for his numerous crimes.
We all must be prepared for the illegal, and potentially violent, lengths MAGA will go to try to assume authoritarian rule.
Grab a chai and listen to the GOP’s attempts to potentially steal the election.
