    David Roberts Retweeted Ron Filipkowski

    Accusing your opponent of cheating & attempting to overthrow negative election results is become a baseline Republican strategy -- unconnected to evidence, just something required by all candidates to get the base's approval. Democracy can't survive normalizing this.https://twitter.com/RonFilipkowski/status/1435759482466938883 …

    Larry Elder tonight sounds like he’s going unleash his own kraken after the CA recall: “We have lawyers all set up, all ready to go to file lawsuits. They’re gonna cheat, we know that.”pic.twitter.com/VQxgMnIt3b

        RW whataboutism is always a little tinny and unconvincing, but on this subject ... hoo boy.

        This trend is only going to accelerate. Any Republican who does *not* accuse his opponent of cheating is going to be viewed as a RINO by the base.https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/09/10/dangerous-trend-among-gop-candidates-shows-trump-threat-is-here-stay/ …

        One of the things you can do is to help turn out so many votes against the recall that the outcome doesn't come down to a court decision.https://www.mobilize.us/?show_all_events=true&tag_ids=8453 …

        That would be great, but it seems every recent election of consequence has been so close that “fraud” (if it did exist) could possibly change the result. Hence the problem. Voter suppression and gerrymandering are real threats to Democracy given Republicans no longer care for it.

        It's an assault to our democracy and it should not be taken lightly.

        proposal: we make it illegal to make baseless election fraud claims, but it is initiated by citizen bounty, $10k min reward

        Yeah but nobody ever gets prosecuted. So, again, why bother? Fatigue has set in. And that is exactly their goal. They just have to keep their base energized, antagonized, and stupified long enough for us to “go away”.

        Routine, preemptive accusations of cheating, coming soon to an election near you. Something new in the hellscape.
