There will be no elections. Dotard is starting a war with Iran and we’re so exhausted we’re missing it. That war, by the way, will be his excuse for “postponing” elections.
ICE is actively making sure people are afraid to go out and vote. The Republic卐ns are creating laws that restrict voting access.
No one is saving us. This entire article is wishful thinking.
Elections are run by the states, not the federal government. They are going to happen as usual.
They could try to ignore the results, but the elections are happening.
I honestly don’t understand why so many people are convinced that the system will correct itself when the regime is ignoring the system - specifically including the courts that are supposed to defend the system.
It's neither self-correcting nor quite as bad as you think. I expect them to try to ignore the results rather than prevent elections from taking place
