Washington Post article: Republicans plot to steal the 2024 election

An article in the Washington Post reported that Republicans had begun to “steal” the 2022 and 2024 elections and secure their victory, having spent the past seven months bringing charges of rigging the 2022 elections under the slogan “Stop the theft.”

According to Max Boot, the author of a column in the Washington Post and a senior fellow Council on Foreign Relations, that during the period from the first of January and May / May , the last 14 approved 14 US state , at least governed by a republican 22 law a new restrict access to voting, and at least About 61 bills with restrictive provisions passed through 18 state legislatures.

These

laws and regulations include, for example, the use of mobile voting stations only in cases of emergency declared by the Governor, temporary voting not being accepted from voters who go to the wrong polling place, voting by car, early voting before 1 pm, and many more methods used To increase minority turnout, but the most worrying element, according to the author, is to facilitate annulment of election results even if there is no evidence that fraud has affected the result.

They are close to achieving their goal

He said these laws were designed not to avoid voter fraud, but to avoid another electoral defeat for Republicans, and they are getting dangerously close to achieving that goal, according to the writer.

While the Republican Party’s efforts ultimately aim to win the 2024 elections, as the writer sees, its impact will first appear in 2022, noting that the Republicans will have the full authority to redraw 187 regions in Congress, while the Democrats will control only 75 regions.

Butt estimates that redistricting in just 4 states – Texas, Florida, Georgia and North Carolina – could be enough to bring the White House into Republican control.

scary scenario

The writer commented that this scenario, which he described as terrifying, will lead to the establishment of a Republican-controlled Congress, and the annulment of the results of the 2024 presidential election if a Republican candidate does not win them and Trump’s inauguration in the White House.

With the implicit threat of mob violence, Republicans are so afraid of Trump and his fanatical followers that most of them just voted against a bipartisan investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, he explained.

The end of American democracy

He added that many Republicans in Congress would refuse to certify the Democrats’ victory in 2024 in swing states. And if Republicans take control of Congress, they can deprive Democrats of an Electoral College majority, in which each state delegation, regardless of population, casts one vote.

Bot concludes that given that Republicans would already control the majority of state delegations, they could override the outcome of the presidential election, and if that happened it would spell the end of American democracy.
