If anything is attempted, it most likely becomes a kind of self-fulfilling October surprise to create Blue Tsunami. As others have pointed out, Americans are cranky individualists who want to show up and vote for who they want to dammit. Messing with that pisses TONS of people off and backfires.

And then you've got state election officials and governors and secretaries of state and police departments who don't want Feds who look like masked ICE goons harassing their people at the polls.

And then Trump doesn't have an infinite amount of goons, so they can't be meaningfully suppressing the vote in Atlanta and Philadelphia and Houston and Detroit and Omaha and Dallas and Phoenix all at once.

Wait until Election Day to target precincts risks Dems banking enough votes during early voting, and then it still creates a live feed of attempted voter suppression that encourages Dems to vote and ticks Independents and R-Leaners off.

I'm optimistic that voter intimidation efforts by this administration would backfire spectacularly:

Target precincts during early voting, and then that makes the news and juices Dem turnout for the rest of early voting and Election Day and flips more Independents and R Leaners to Dems.

Yes. In hindsight they should have brought charges earlier (early 2022?) and gone all in on communicating the need to hold him accountable and how it was not partisan. Unfortunately bringing charges after he declared he was running for President made it look partisan. Sigh...

I buy 2 gallons of whole milk a week for my family of 5. One of the countless weird, out of touch things this administration is doing.

They think it's "based" and "patriotic" to flex American muscle and take territory from namby-pamby European allies. Ugh.

Seating NO Senators from the Class that's up for election in 2026 would result in a 34-31 Democratic Senate.

Oh wow, I remember watching this one with some friends in college. I hadn't thought about this one in years!

They're terrified of him.

I've been hoping this for years, but maybe it will spook a bunch of Republicans in the House and Senate to do something (threaten impeachment and conviction?).

Hold GA and MI. Cooper flips NC, Mills flips ME. Then 2 of Peltola in AK, Brown in Ohio, Talarico in TX, Rob Sand pulls the Dem across the finish line in IA.

I'm here for the scene when the Ghost of Christmas Past shows him how he wasted Christmas 2020 lying about winning the election.
