NEW: Republicans are appealing seven cases they have lost to higher courts. Sophie and I explain why this is a big deal and why you need to pay attention.

[Think. Again.]

1. Do I have this right?...

If, after the election but before the confirmation, an appeals court overturns any of these lower-court decided cases, that would give the rightwing a basis to ask a court to throw out the results of the general election, and therefore send the Presidential election to Congress?

Is that what they're planning?

3. the very election officials whise job it is to conduct fair elections

will declare their county elections to be unfair and refuse to confirm the results.

the delay in courts will extend past jan 6 deadline, and the entire election is thrown into the house of reps. 1 state 1 vote. or onto the supreme court where trump's takes the crown.

[Think. Again.]

4. so they have more than one plan in the works.

5. i don't doubt their militias are also traoning a bit more discipline than 2021

and the propaganda is turned up to 11,

so yea, they have a few prongs of attack, roughly similar to last time but wider scale and better supported. -

our best shot is to continue to psyche him out.

2. republicons continue their attack on American democracy

[Think. Again.]

6. Here are 2 easy ways we can all check our voter registrations...

Check your registration often, ESPECIALLY if you live in one the states mentioned above, or in a state where republicans can effect voter registrations in any way.

See ya in November!
