Having failed to prevent certification of the 2020 election, Donald Trump and his followers are targeting state and local offices that will be involved in running the next presidential election

State Rep. Mark Finchem of Arizona speaks during an election rally in Richmond, Va., on Oct. 13, 2021. | APDonald Trump’s pick to become Arizona’s top elections official raised more campaign cash in 2021 than his two potential Democratic opponents combined — a sign of MAGA-world’s deep engagement in taking over under-the-radar positions in charge of running battleground state elections.

Another Republican with business ties actually raised even more than Finchem. But the financial haul from Trump’s pick, which included thousands of donations under $100 that poured in from around the country, points to a broader trend across the states. In interviews, both Democratic hopefuls said they were not overly concerned by Finchem’s fundraising. But it’s another sign, they say, that Democrats need to take these races incredibly seriously.

Cornerstone of Trump's strategy to retake power--install loyal Sec's of State to certify the results for TRUMP no matter the actual vote. THIS IS KEY. Protests in streets from disenfranchised Dem & Independent voters will provoke violent reprisals from MAGA & CivilWar2022 is on.

GOPCoup

Not something a wannabe dictator would do, so don't worry.

Was it Stalin who said, 'It's not the votes that count, it's who counts the votes'? So sad that Trump and so many of his followers have abandoned electoral democracy.

Well yeah, since states are who manage elections, even federal ones. Time for a change. Pass the voting rights bills so everyone can vote easily. If the GOP can't win that way, then apparently they're not good leaders.

Hows your 401K doing with Biden as your President ?

Of course he is. He’s a businessman. He’s become very adept at screwing America. Those 4 years in office gave him the inside knowledge how to do it. I’m sorry, but people are just brainwashed by Trump enough to follow him. It’s a cult. No critical thinking whatsoever.

Republicans are trying to win elections? Oh, the horror!

State and local officials worried they won’t be able to change rules in order to help their party cheat voters out of the true vote. Fear generated by Covid-19 mongers pushed mail in no ID or signature verification voting. Many states have rules to prevent this. Dems are pissed

A president doesn’t have the authority to even try to prevent certification. Certification is done by Congress. This is disinformation and Politico should have it’s account temporarily suspended.

As the Democrats have been doing for years.

All votes need to be legal and legitimate. It’s the states responsibility to protect the legal citizens rights. Voting has its consequences - it where we are today. 300K unemployed, 7% inflation, high energy cost, high gas prices, 200M cross border, crime on the increase, CRT,

And Manchin and Sinema are letting the corrupt GOP steal the next election 😡

Tax cuts and deregulation* for the wealthy 1% doesn't gain political power in a democracy without tricks, schemes, lies, and base racism--Republicans can't win elections without some level of BS games. (*deregulation is called decriminalization when the criminal's not wealthy😉)

Check out what is going on in Hudson, WI. Extremist BigLie proponent John Kraft is now a poll worker entrusted on a list used to supply powerful election roles.

You have to admit it's a potentially effective strategy.

Except for wasting time on the pursuits of rich people I have never gotten the sense that Trump is an expert at anything. With this concentrated effort on stealing on elections, I wonder if he has become an expert on the whole election process or is he relying on his toadies.

We tried so hard to get everyone to see how dangerous this one individual was!

Just another way to overthrow a legitimate election. You should mention that.

ISN'T THAT CHEATING? IT WOULD HELP TO MENTION IT IN YOUR CURRENT AND FUTURE HEADLINES. (YOU KNOW TO AVOID NORMALIZING IT.) THANKS MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF AMERICANS FOR DEMOCRACY. 🇺🇲

Said differently they're still trying to pull a coup.

Well we know Joe Biden didn’t get more votes than Obama lmfao
