Roxan Wetzel is a relative newcomer to politics. She began to get involved in 2019, she said, inspired by the start of North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson’s meteoric rise in politics.
With the now-totally-legal-thanks-to-SCOTUS voter purging, theft and destruction of ballots, aggressive voter suppression tactics, and polling that indicates an electoral college but not population vote win for Trump, they might not have to ‘Stop the Steal’ at all. They’ve “legally” pre-stolen it themselves.
Instead of being concerned what the Republicans might do if they lose, it might be worth wondering if everybody else should really take it lying down like they did the 2000 election.
Last time, “stop the steal” failed because there wasn’t any actual election fraud to be found. This time, there will be actual election fraud to find, and plenty of it, because they will have committed it themselves. They will then use their own crimes as an excuse to claim the vote tallies are unreliable and throw out entire precincts worth of results in Democrat-leaning areas. This will result in a claimed Trump win of both the electoral college and the popular vote in a landslide, and the MAGA SCOTUS will rubber-stamp it.
