"The Election That Could Break America": Inside How Trump & GOP Could Steal the Vote [I Am a Democrat]

Democracy Now
September 15, 2020

As President Trump refuses to commit to accepting the results of the upcoming election, we speak to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Barton Gellman, whose latest piece in 'The Atlantic' looks at how Trump could subvert the election results and stay in power even if he loses to Joe Biden.

"Trump's strategy is never to concede.
He may win, he may lose, but under no circumstances will he concede this election," says Gillman.
"That's a big problem, because we don't actually have a mechanism for forcing a candidate to concede, and concession is the only way we have ended elections."

I have said it a few times before and we should have learned from the last election. It's not the votes that will elect him it's the electorate that puts him in office.

He actually lost the last election!

What he will do and why it's so important for him to have a deciding Supreme Court Justice is to both challenge the votes as well as to change the electorate counts. He has been trying the later for quite some time already!

Electorates can change their mind! Happen at his last election.

Just the Supreme Court hasn't heard nor ruled on the case.... yet!

Really? Guillotines don't work anymore?

Then it may come to civil war and a rewriting of the constitution.
