>> it does look like this act is going to pass, this is a must pass piece of legislation. it is -- to make election subversion harder. it does things like clarified the vice president cant just throw it electoral college votes. it raises the threshold for objections. remember we had those black objections to pennsylvania in arizonas counts? >> it provides an expedited procedure to deal with governors who might go rogue and not turn in the right slate of electors and left the court to sort that o...

>> we do need to stay on guard. because the ultimate goal of election denial, or election subversion, isnt just one election or another, but to discredit the system in the absolute. -- cementing associations and peoples minds. the goal has always been to have american voters associate our elections with corruption and fraud to the point where eventually, they went not -- think that elections are perhaps the best way to elect our leaders and choose our leaders. and as you now, ayman, that opens t...

Out for come tuesday in this regard? >> i think that law enforcement is gonna have to make sure that people have free and unfettered access to the polls. poll workers, election workers, are protected. we remember when the votes are being counted in arizona in 2020. there was a mob outside of some of these election offices. the trump rhetoric of the stolen election has moved things to a very dangerous place here in this country. even election workers fear for their safety. many of them leaving th...

Looking for aside from potential disruptions on tuesday, are we going to be electing people to office who said that the last election was stolen? if they are elected, will we be able to trust them to run elections fairly in 2024? if not, who is going to protect us? that is why i argue in my piece in the atlantic that really it has to be stay in federal courts to step up? the election subversion is avoided. that the winner of the election the person with the votes that will have to fall through t...

There is lying about the outcome, there is refusal to concede, and they see intimidation of voters. theres another colin right, now and you tweeted about this its also from lucid, you said that voting is also an act of faith. in the, past many of us have trusted the election system to work, or never thought much about what happens after we cast our ballots, but that is no longer the case given widespread practices of election subversion and the threats to election workers. that is a psychologica...

Elections. imagine that there is a dispute about who has won georgia, for example and that senate seat could flip the senate. what would happen? this has happened before. john quincy adams, as a former president, had to assert extraconstitutional authority to preside over the house when it was deciding who had won the election, because that would determine the next speaker. what we face now is a situation where the house and senate have not come up with rules for guiding disputed elections the w...

Recur. >> that, my friends, is what making the upcoming midterm elections so important and so pivotal. if in the future leaders with autocratic tendencies like to preempt challenges by placing their own skills and positions of power, who is to say that one day our democratic system wont simply be handed over to a bad actor without even a fight? nor do we have to look to find a future. in several states, republican candidates who dispute the 2020 election results are running for positions that wo...
