FBI
@FBI
A threat to an election worker is a threat to democracy. @TheJusticeDept has launched a task force that will partner with the #FBI and U.S. attorneys offices throughout the country to investigate and prosecute threats against election workers. https://go.usa.gov/xFKxp
Deputy Director Paul Abbate said, "The FBI will not tolerate threats against any federal, state, or local election worker participating in the common goals of safeguarding our electoral process and the rights of voters. From election administrators to volunteers to vendors and contractors, threats against any one individual is a threat against us all. The FBIs mission is to protect the American people and uphold our Constitution, and protecting our democratic process is paramount. We take this responsibility seriously and will investigate any and all federal violations to the fullest."

They will harass, attack etc anyone who tries to count the votes in an honest way.
Fortunately for the GOP in ALL RED STATES they can simply refuse to certify any election they lose and guess what, all 50 million or 80 million cons will support that.

(31,121 posts)the truth, possibly. Not all of them, but some will.
And that the police wont necessarily support democracy, etc. They might, and they might not depending on where.
There are simply too many trump sycophants willing to die for him.

(6,921 posts)possible to trust someone, even someone you've known for a lang time and think you truly know, if they are Republican. If we could only recognize them - the AGA hat is a giveaway but not everyone wears it.
