Well sure, that's what all the "rigging the election" they're doing is for...

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I've been saying this all over, but here's my predictions:
-
Send in ICE goons to prevent people from voting in many swing Democratic places. When the people start to protest and push back, NSPM-7 will have labeled them all "domestic terrorists" so they'll face huge prison terms, or just be shot on the spot "out of self defense" or some shit. As of Aug 12, 2026 they've recently said they'll do this.
-
Try to foment some terrorist attacks or stage some false flag attacks themselves at polling places or counting stations as a pretext to seize voting machines/ballots.
-
Work with Musk and Thiel to sabotage the systems themselves (much like Musk possibly did in 2024, I'm not saying that's a hard fact but there has been enough fuckery to do hand recounts). They've had access to the machines' operating systems since 2021, more than enough time to develop exploits. They have back doors all over the federal government now through DOGE. They have voter rolls from many states. They are dismantling election security agencies and policies.
-
Use the war (pick any war, maybe a new one by that point) to cancel elections all together and even though Democratic states will hold elections, Republican states will not, so he'll have SCOTUS rule it an incomplete election and therefore invalid or something
-
?????: Some other completely batshit insane thing that I'm not evil enough or too sober to come up with.
Numbers, prior to elections, do in fact lie. We’ve been burnt by this in the past. Maintain focus.
Right? 2016 would like a word.
Hey us voters: quit using the polls and your internet advisors as a reason to not turn out.
They don't lie but they're often just wrong.
Especially when the election is getting rigged in favour of the Republicans (again).
This. I don't really believe that Donvict won any of his "wins" legitimately.
Why do you think the conservatives are scheming to steal elections?
They’re not running scared because the midterms will be stolen and the Americans won’t do shit about it. Lazy ignorant fucks
Wow, such an edgy and profound take…
Well I’m right so far
Are you?
Because the real resistance and pushback vs what you imagined in your head isn’t as unified and published by corporate owned propaganda outlets you consume?
You don’t even know what ‘propaganda’ outlets I consume. I don’t consume any American news outlet.
And yes I am right. Trump is wrecking your country and after almost two years he is still there. A large group of people voted three times for him. The guy who keeps lying to you, his blatant fraud, is a proven rapist and pedophile is still in office. And all those facts still don’t convince people to vote against him.
Coming November that same group will still vote for him, the same group of people are still too lazy to get off of their asses to vote against him and on top of that Trump will do anything to win the midterms
