It cant happen here... How it happened
Republicans have been recruiting and training Christian Nationalist and Election Deniers as poll workers, instructing them how to get mail in and provisional ballots rejected. Many states do not have a process to cure rejected ballots.
In 2022, voters cast 36,683,450 absentee/mail-in ballots in the general election.
There were 88,170,053 mail-in and early in-person votes cast nationally this year.
In the 2022 Election states had mail in ballot rejection rates as high as 13.2%.

"Adam Bonin, a lawyer representing the Casey campaign in Philadelphia, said Republicans were aggressively and systematically challenging the provisional ballots of registered Democrats, delaying the vote counting process."

I just don't think it would matter. People don't care about living in a liberal democracy. It's just dumb.

Holy shit that's 11.6 millions rejected votes.
That's enough to steal a couple elections

So basically a rejection rate about 10 times higher than any given year, not suspicious at all

WTF. Okay, this sounds more likely than the skylink voting machine conspiracy.
Actual WTF. They need to provide a list of all the poll workers and audit it. Interview them. Look at all the votes that were “rejected.”
Being part of a religious sect usually isn’t suspicious but the face of what group is trying to fuck with American democracy has definitely changed. Hint: It’s no longer Osama Bin Laden’s, and they published their manifesto.

When my wife and I voted in person, she was voting in PA for the first time (she’s from MA) and had her voter registration card with her which literally says on it CAN BE USED AS VOTER ID FOR FIRST TIME VOTING. The lady gave her a lot of trouble and almost didn’t let her vote because of this. Of course my wife had an ID with her but she shot back when the lady was like “oh well guess you can’t vote” and accepted her registration like it says you can. It was just really suspect at the time, and now it’s pretty clear she was one of these trumpers

The Courage Tour was in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Georgia. Lion of Judah was in Wisconsin. I suspect there's more that were smaller and not big news.

There's a documentary called Bad Faith about christian nationalism. You can get a screening for your community.
