Don’t Count Me Out

There are two big question when it comes to the 2024 presidential election. The first question: Who will people vote for? The second question: Will those votes count? Following the last election, the insurrectionist in chief tried everything from legal quackery, to political intimidation and violence, to just asking Georgia to find him 11,780 votes. The difference when it comes to the 2024 election is that Trump and his election-deniers have had four more years to lay the groundwork. “Across the country, conservative organizations and allies of Mr. Trump have sought to create new laws or win court rulings granting local officials more authority over the certification process. In Arizona, conservatives are targeting the state’s election manual with several lawsuits. In Nevada, an official in the state’s second-largest county refused to certify a recent election, setting up a legal test at the State Supreme Court. And in Georgia, even before the state election board’s meeting on Tuesday, allies of Mr. Trump were seeking a similar resolution in the courts.” NYT (Gift Article): Georgia Board Grants Local Officials New Power Over Certifying Elections.
