A lot of what needs to be done is making sure that the Harris win is large enough that you can’t easily claim that a handful of ballots should be tossed and change the outcome. That means:
- Check your voter registration — part of the Republican strategy has long been invalidating registrations so people can’t vote
- Volunteer — nothing in the world quite like talking to people.
- Donate — money is used for everything from ads to voter turnout operations
- Organize; be prepared to turn out with others in your community to actively object to any effort to ignore your votes
There’s something of a history of racist groups overthrowing elections in the US.
Yes but there was no internet or helicopters back then. That spat that took 50 years for scholars to figure out would flash right in front of everyone just like Jan 6.
Jan 6 failed because a black cop decided to push the leader of the attacking mob, so that they followed him instead of going through an open door into the Senate chamber. It came that close.
They’ve had practice now.
No Congress-persons were in danger, ever. The only danger was to law enforcement and those rioting. Even if they had truly and utterly taken control of the Capitol building, Congress would have continued on with the counting elsewhere.
I really think you’re overestimating the likelihood of this sort of thing happening. It is not the 18th century and the US is not an undeveloped place with weak institutional systems.
