... have seen so many "unbelievable" things out of these people, we won't be taken by surprise by anything.
I have no doubt that motions are already drafted in the event of attempts to "cancel" in the face of some declaration of a national emergency or in response to some other previously "unimaginable" move they might make. And there is already pre-emptive legislative action and litigation going on. Bills to keep ICE away, etc.
We are SMARTER than they are and very, very, often, when we take them on, we win.
There needs to be a balance between preparing for the worst without spreading immobilizing fears of their awesome power (they are WEAK, not Strong) or fears of some apocalyptic event. We have a highly distributed, robust election system. The shear number of polling places makes it tough to attack. And we know where their efforts will be focused -- population centers, Democratic Party strongholds, and heavily contested races in red states.
It shouldn't be this way, but the most critical thing we can do is make sure the vote against them is so overwhelming that stealing is impossible.
In every state that has early voting or mail in voting, the goal should be to get every voter to cast their vote within the first week. We've got to find ways to encourage people -- especially younger people who tend to procrastinate -- to vote early. For those who vote by mail, VERIFY with whatever tracking is available.
The earlier people vote the better. We can't know what they will pull, but we know that they are most likely to target election day itself, so if there is a way to vote before that, we need to do what we can to encourage people to do that.
And of course, all the usual stuff. Volunteer as a poll watcher, give to the state party and election protection organizations. Every bit helps.
