Lawrence O'Donnell and his guests have told us Trump's plan for November

His administration will claim "they told us in July" that China and Venezuela were tampering with our election and he will then try seize the ballots.

Blue State governments need to plan NOW how they will protect our votes from being seized!

2. Gavin Newsom wants to make seizing ballots a felony

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) will introduce new legislation making ballot seizure before they are counted and certified by a state or county official a felony. In a July 4 recorded speech, Newsom was not shy about who the law targets.

“We will not be his victims,” Newsom said. “We will be the wall he cannot get past, because we believe that once an election is decided, the winner governs for everyone. That’s the architecture of American liberty.”

The “he” refers to President Donald Trump, who has spearheaded a movement of election skepticism through repeated — and repeatedly proven false — claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged.

IN particular the states where the state legislatures are gerrymandered red. They will let Trump do what he wants.

It can be crypted, but at least we would have some proof of our vote and how we voted.
