After Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, a handful of congressional Democrats objected to certifying his electoral victory. But, after some local election officials withheld votes to certify the 2020 presidential election for Joe Biden over concerns about that election’s administration, Democrats launched an intimidation campaign to force those officials to fall in line. Wielding prosecutions and threats of lawsuits, their message is clear: rubber-stamp election results or else.
But it’s not just Elias who has weaponized the law to target election officials who dare to question the process or outcome of an election. Some of the most egregious examples are happening in key swing states.
The Georgia State Election Board ruled in a 3-2 vote last week that county election board members are entitled to a “reasonable inquiry” into election discrepancies before they certify the results of an election. The rule clarifies that county board members are responsible for certifying an election “after reasonable inquiry that the tabulation and canvassing of the election are complete and accurate and that the results are a true and accurate accounting of all votes cast in that election.”
But for Fulton County board member Julie Adams, her decision not to certify the election results for the state’s March presidential preference primary led to threats from the Democrat Party of Georgia.
Last week, for example, election meddler Marc Elias threatened Republican officials in a post on X, implying that, should they not certify election results, he will sue them.

If we lose this election I am going to start getting a movement to secede from the union. It does not benefit us one iota that we’ll belong to a corrupt government who wants to turn every individual into a slave to a government that’s gonna run this country like a dictatorship! I’m done if we lose this election we’re gonna get the petition going is gonna go full gangbusters and we’ll get it done. Texas cannot survive four years of the cackling hyena *itch and her communist government! We just can’t belong to the union anymore…this state is so incredible gifted with oil with farmland with cattle we don’t need the other states we can do without them and we can do without the government! We’re going to get the ball rolling if we lose!
Said another way, the dems/uniparty want to cement in their Big Steal.
When I saw this headline, I thought for sure Marc Elias had to be involved...
A Treasonous puke if there ever was one. A Domestic Enemy of The Constitution.
Thou shall not bear false witness.
11 ballots from area X
Harris 6
Trump 5
If the Trump campaign produces the 5 Trump voters from area X, Team Harris had better be able to prove 6 other people from area X actually voted.
All mail-in ballots have fingerprints on them. The fingerprints can be recovered.
The first four years of Trump were a speedbump on the road to Hell, and there is no way the Dems will let him take office again. Even if they have to blow up the world.
I will still vote for Trump on general principles (presuming there is still an election), but I have no illusions of saving the country. Because it is already gone.
Here's yet another question:If the 2020 election wasn’t stolen, then why did Democrats repeal the US CODE that gave state legislatures the power to choose Electors if the results weren't determined ON Election Day?
In 2022, the Democrat-controlled Congress repealed in its entirety 3 U.S. Code § 2. Failure to make choice on prescribed day. This section allowed the state legislature to choose its Electors in the event that the election was not resolved ON ELECTION DAY.
Original text of 3 U.S. Code § 2. Failure to make choice on prescribed day:
Whenever any State has held an election for the purpose of choosing electors, and has failed to make a choice on the day prescribed by law, the electors may be appointed on a subsequent day in such a manner as the legislature of such State may direct.In states where the Democrats were holding up counting the votes, taking days to receive mail-in votes, looking to disqualify votes, etc., it was US CODE that the state legislatures could put an immediate stop to it and simply declare the Electors on their own.
It's too bad that Republican-controlled state legislatures didn't use this power, or at least speak out in defense of people claiming to be alternative electors. All it would have taken from such states is a vote of the legislature in support of the alternative slate at any point prior to meeting in the Electoral College.
By removing this section from Title 3, Democrats have legalized delaying the returns for weeks while they keep finding votes.
They must have known they stole the election because they removed the law that gave the states the power to stop the steal if it takes several days to complete.
Repeat:
-PJ
And the democrats are constantly espousing that their policies are saving democracy. It’s the same old 180 rule with them, they always do the exact opposite of what they claim they are doing. Evil lying communist criminals!
Succession = income taxes stop going to DC. I’m all for it - in fact, eliminate income taxes altogether, but DC will fight for it.
Rose-there is an organization and a movement in place-I had the info in my work desktop and accidentally wiped my bookmarks-but not on this laptop-I’ll try to find it tomorrow and send to you. They have been working to get secession on the agenda to vote-I hope all this s*** gets it prioritized. Like most rural people I know, I’m all in for leaving-they need us and our resources and taxes more than we need them and the fraction of those resources and taxes we get back with ridiculous, ruinous conditions attached...
Here is the take I generally get from whether or not Trump tried to overturn election results. If Trump wins, then he is guilty of overturning election results. If he loses, he will be guilty of trying to overturn election results.

If Elias is making that threat—then that means the dems are already confident that they have enough fraud votes to win.
Threats from the rat mafia now? (Elias looks very much like the mafiosa boss, Elias, in Person of Interest - ie pudgy and bald).
Trump camp execs should issue their own threats on this. Something like... if you try to steal the next election, lawsuits are the very last thing you’ll need to worry about.
“They must have known they stole the election because they removed the law that gave the states the power to stop the steal if it takes several days to complete.”
Of course they knew/know. They had it all planned out back then... just as they have it all planned out now. One thing you can say about Marxists is... they always plan ahead... unlike our ‘supposedly clueless’ GOPers.
Going back to the ineptness and cluelessness of these people in government... nobody’s that stupid. They’re just pretending stupidity. It’s all intentional. It just comes off as stupid to us that see the insanity of their agenda.
