This is the crucial backdrop, along with the current gerrymandering in the House of Representatives and the state legislators. The election in Georgia could be a turning point as an electoral rebuke—quite hard under these rules—is the strongest response. https://twitter.com/imillhiser/status/1346834407626334209 …

So far: Capitol stormed, one dead, multiple explosive devices found/detonated, the very few people arrested had guns on them, the electoral college vote was not certified (staffers rushed out with the boxes). Still wondering what happens if we indulge election-stealing fantasies?

Thirteen. Out of all that mayhem, thirteen. Should we be grateful that they didn’t let one go for good luck?https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/1346985794712514562 …

Having difficulty imagining anyone following any of this actually claiming being surprised by the attempt. How will it go and what will happen? Sure. Who knows? But they’re gonna try? Clear as day.https://twitter.com/BreeNewsome/status/1347013839162925057 …

Even after all that, 138 representatives —65% of GOP caucus—and 7 senators voted to discard PA. PA rules were voted in by the GOP but even the guy who got elected by them voted to throw out the ones for the president. They would have stolen that election if they had the numbers.https://twitter.com/abgutman/status/1347050080864509952 …

There’s almost no more obvious, basic truth to how politics operates. It’s not just that a mob stormed the Capitol, it’s also that right after that, the majority of elected GOP representatives proceeded to try to throw out the election results to steal it for their guy.https://twitter.com/Patrick_Wyman/status/1346997713565466624 …

I think that "there may be" is perhaps the biggest understatement of our time.
