What more proof is there that they know Trump won and will win big in 24.

I’d offer this scenario.

Probably in the range of a dozen states to attempt this, prior to the primary....likely giving ‘bonus-points’ to DeSantis, and the states involved would likely sue red-states to ‘cooperate’.

But this invites the scenario....if you were a Trump-voter in the primary and can’t vote for him....do you ‘write-in’ (trusting the system) or do you register as a Democrat to vote for RFK instead...causing even more chaos?

These are all questions that you might ask in the 1859-state-of-mind.

The establishment GOP were an active part of the illegality and theft in 2020….

People need to wake up and realize they are just as much the enemy as the democrats

The establishment does not care one once about you or this national.

E.g. Kemp, Raffensperger, et al.

You are more optimistic than I, friend. I hope you are right.

Between legalized election fraud and demographic shifts, Trump nor any other Republican is likely to ever win the white house again ever, unfortunately.

Whose payroll is Scanlan really on? How is it that a so-called Republican discovered this before anyone else? Or is it that he’s so incompetent and disloyal that to him the Constitution reads like a cryptograph, only now he’s claiming to have deciphered the parts he thinks he can weaponize?

As they did the last time the media will be campaigning for Biden.

All the while, at the same time, running “Trump has been indicted, Trump is in court, Trump is a bad man” and run it on TV, radio and social media until the voting begins.

I have zero faith that the people will see through it all and vote for the alternative ... Regardless of who that will be!

Optimism will get you a lot further than hope.

It is stupid to go off “half cocked”, as Trump has not been convicted of anything, and has not been indicted on any “insurrection” charges. Some RINOs are really Democrats, which is to say they are stupid.

No, not stupid. Calculating.

Take a look at this, not sure if it is completely accurate or current, but your write-in may not count: https://ballotpedia.org/Write-in_candidate

NH is New York City North. Loaded with retired “civil service” workers from NYC who made $200k a year driving a bus or in sanitation or police retiring at age 54 the ones the unions soaked the middle classes for, negotiated contracts for dozens of years with “full pay” pension benefits, going out on strike to disable the city.

Exactly how does one write-in a candidate’s name on a preprinted ballot which will be run through a computerized Dominion voting machine?

I know in some southern states...they will still count (county-wise) write-in votes. I don’t believe in states like California, Washington, or Oregon....that would occur.

It may be that you have this angle occur (12 states), and twenty-odd other states go and say that Biden can’t appear on their ballots. Maybe this is intentional to get both Biden/Trump gone, and just have some DeSantis/Newsom election...with denied primary situations.

If you were to measure DeSantis/Newsom thrills...I doubt if you’d approach 50-percent of the combined public being that happy. Third-party guy might have more odds in 2024, than in any election of the past fifty years.

There are so many flaws in the theory that are readily discernable by a second-year law student.
