and committed to an ideology of brutal hate. Now, given the power to exercise his inner fears and warped patriotism of keeping only white christians in the country he’s able to unleash it brazenly. Indeed, there is a component of certain regions in OK that nurture his kind of pathology.

(like his predecessors) our beleaguered attempts to block his type of authoritarianism is weakened further. His far-right extremism is not new, but in the long term it is abnormally nurtured by millions whether we win some electoral victories. We will always have a wealth imbalance to contend with stultifying impact on true democracy.

how to know they are skeeeeered of getting CREAMED in November

how would the feds know that California has 35,000 non-citizen voters if they don't have California's voter data?

Second, voter information is public and anyone can get it, if they want. Heck, I can walk down to my county clerk's office and ask for our county's voter data. It costs $75 for the complete list (digitized even!).

Finally, voter registration DOES NOT EQUAL an actual vote. Anyone can fill out a voter registration form. Not everyone will be approved. In Colorado, I had to bring a copy of my birth certificate to get a driver license, which then automatically registered me to vote.

Not sure how California does it.

And I believe it's illegal to even apply if you're not a citizen, though the penalties are significantly less than for actually going through with voting. And I think it's also a requirement that states make sure non-citizen don't become 'registered' and/or remove them from the rolls immediately if they find out a registered person is not eligible.

That being said I think all these states ARE following these laws, are doing their due-diligence, and the administration is probably wrong about the large majority of these cases. If they're not, then the state says 'thanks for the list, we'll look into these accusations and if any are accurate, we'll remove them from rolls, and pursue legal remedies against those people who illegally registered' and that's it.

But like you say, registrations are not VOTES. The actual number of non-citizens going through with voting are a extremely tiny fraction of the total number of votes.

1) Voter registration DOES NOT EQUAL an actual vote.
2) Receiving a request form for an absentee ballot does not equal an actual vote
3) Actually completing a request form for an absentee ballot and sending it back does not equal an actual vote
4) Completing a provisional ballot does not equal an actual vote
5)Filling out your deceased parents automically sent ballots (Florida) with your choices and sending it back separately with your own ballot does not equal dead parents voting (those ballots will be caught don’t try it, it is a felony).

The system, in all 50 states, shut up Ohio, you are not special, is very secure. Many accounting cross-checks are in place.

Your truly a 15 year election judge!

as you know, do a really good job of comparing signatures from the mailed ballot envelope to signatures on file.

The ones that get rejected from the Agilis machine go to a group that does signature verification by hand. If they can't match the signature to one of many on file they send a letter to the voter to show up in-person at the Clerk's office.

The system works.

Would that explain why they are registered? Even though they are not allowed to vote in state or federal races?

They F'd up the social security stuff- why would this be any different? Our entire federal government is being run by incompetents. Why would I believe anything they say?

The truth is that undocumented immigrants wouldn't risk being caught by voting illegally.

laying the groundwork to declare they will not seat Democrats who win from certain states. Along with actions like armed presence intimidation, shutting down streets leading to the polls with phony claims of "security operations" etc. and like claiming fraud and seizing ballots so that they can "negate" enough ballots so that a recount will show the Democrat lost rather than won.

They will dare the people to rise up in the streets because they actually desire that so they can further federalize and they have amply demonstrated no restraint in falsely imprisoning people and indeed murdering them in the streets. Not only is there no restraint on their part but rather a yearning to kill. As in the Caribbean, Venezuela, Iran etc.

Nobody has any power or authority to do anything to prevent any member of the new House of Representatives from being seated on Jan 3, 2027 (all 435 members will be sworn in at once).

The Speaker has no role in seating and swearing in the new Congress because at thaat point he is no longer speaker. His term as speaker ends Jan 3, 2027 as do the terms of all 435 members of the House. Those people who are reelected still need to be re-sworn in just the same as new members. That is done by the House Clerk, a non-partisan position. This will also happen on Jan 3, 2027. The clerk also conducts all business until a new Speaker is elected (could be the same as the old speaker).

Also, approximately half of all House seats are in states with Democratic Governors so there is basically 0 chance of those elections not being certified.

not saying such a thing would be legitimate or eventually allowed by the court. Taking illegal actions and failing to follow clear laws and court decisions is the demonstrated brand for these people. They still don't comply with rulings on immigration detention for example. They clearly have failed to comply with the law requiring turning over the Epstein files as another example. Delaying and hamstringing seating people/giving a vote as a general matter was already done with SC justices and a US Representative.

The effort will be to gum things up enough to delay certification of results etc. and put off as long as possible control of Congress by Democrats. Even if, and I hope we are successful, in turning the Congress Blue takes place I look for the GQP to gum up the Senate the same way they did under Biden. They will ignore House investigative subpoenas and know full well that any referral to DOJ for contempt will go nowhere. They are going to ride out the next 2+ years with delay and obstruction while they continue purges and destruction. They don't care about anybody saying "no" to them. Not the courts, Congress or the people. Bottom line is they don't intend to comply with any laws and they have no reservations about breaking any laws.

Republicans absolutely can screw with the Senate elections. But they can not "gum up" the House elections. There is literally a 0% chance of Democrats not being seated in the house. Unlike the Supreme Court or seating new representatives during the Congressional session, there is no political partisan participation in the process. At the end of the current session, there are 0 Republicans and 0 Democrats in the House until the new Congress is sworn in. Therefore there is NO Republican with any ability to stop anything. PERIOD.

meaningless unless clarified.

In fact, based on all we should have learned by now, analysts should first state that the administration is likely lying, exaggerating, or catapulting propaganda...AGAIN. That's the starting point: assumptions of cheating and lying are likely closer to reality than assuming what they say is real.

To combat this obvious attempt to skew the midterms? Its not like its been a secret, they are going to try and prevent people from voting, from counting legit votes, and making it hard to vote.

They are also going to flood the zone with lies and confusion, which will be gleefully repeated and amplified by the media.

That's what cooperation would look like.
All of those "illegal voters" and yet Kamala is not the President. Hmm, it makes complete sense, not.
