The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

 The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

Excerpt: During the 2000 recount in Florida, Republican operatives contrived protests, including the infamous Brooks Brothers Riot, to pressure state election officials to stop counting ballots. Democrats have already said they will not cede protest activity to the GOP, as they did in 2000. But right-wing protests that have emerged in support of Trump during his term in office don’t look like the work of astroturfing staffers dressed in the attire of the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant elite. He has the backing of a broad network of heavily-armed militia groups, far-right street-fighting gangs, white supremacists and a pseudo-religious cult that believes Trump is a demigod operating in secret to prevent the apocalypse. Trump has primed these supporters to potentially reject the election results with his false statements about voter fraud and absentee voting. [WOW! TALK ABOUT CONSPIRACY THEORIES! QAnon has nothing on these guys at HuffPo. There actually are a few facts mixed and mingled into this “article” posing as analysis. You have to read it to believe what the public is being told by this supposed source. If it wasn't presented seriously, I'd be rolling on the floor in laughter. It’s difficult to believe even the most die-hard Democrat would credit these speculations–but, I’ll bet some do, anyway.
