White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt offered a vague preview of President Trump’s speech set for Thursday night, saying he will show that elections aren’t as secure as people think. “I thin…

“I think all Americans — Democrat, Republican — should agree that we are the greatest country in the history of the world. We should have the safest and most secure elections in the history of the world,” Leavitt said.

“And what the president will be speaking about tonight will show you that perhaps that is not the case, and we need to make some adjustments moving forward, including the SAVE America Act,” she added, referring to the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act.

Leavitt pushed back against questions from reporters about why Trump won’t let go of the claims that the 2020 election was stolen and that he views this as more important than the economy and conflict with Iran.

“You’re jumping ahead to a conclusion in the speech before even hearing it yourself,” she said. “I think that everyone should tune in tonight, including the people in this room, and you should report on the president’s speech and the findings that he is going to reveal in the speech with a little bit of honesty and a little bit of integrity because … it will shock you if you have an honest eye listening to the president tonight.”

There are 4 boxes as related to a healthy democracy: the soapbox, ballot box, jury box, and ammo box.

The jury box didn’t work out with Judge Canon protecting him. The soapbox isn’t being healthy with how controlled it is. Now they’re going to fuck with the ballot box; a power reserved to the states. The only things that even allows the feds anywhere near that are the 15th, 19th, and 25th Amendments.

Now they’re trying to go beyibd that and take away the ballot box? That will ultimately leave only 1 box left.

    They can and will simply ignore whatever nonsense he says.

    Yes. On which side of that do you think the national guardsmen will take? What about the Marines or the Navy Seals? What if he has ICE go do his bidding?

      I think the national guardsmen will take the side of whatever the courts and/or their home states decide, which is exactly what happened with them after their deployments last year.

      I think it’s a possibility that ICE could be hanging around polling places, but there are far too few of them and far too many polling places for it to be a meaningful difference.

      My advice is to organize. Be a poll worker. Volunteer to escort people to the polls, especially if you’re a white male. Use your privilege for good. It has to be too big to rig.

        The plan isn’t going to merely be ICE intimidating voters.

        It’ll be ICE seizing ballot boxes/machines and either

        1. Destroying them
        2. Falsifying votes for Republicans until they win
        3. Some of 1, some of 2

        Then, their plan is to fight it in the courts until the stolen “new congress” is sworn in

          Then do your part and sign up to be an election judge. Nobody who is a poll worker has ever said that an election was stolen.

        Yes that worked really well for Alex Pretti.
