As we know, Trump's attacks on upcoming elections are incessant. From his tantrum about the voter suppression SAVE Act, to illegally seizing Fulton County ballots, to trying to obtain state voter rolls, to attempting to interfere with postal ballots, the effort is ongoing, malign, and misguided.
These attempts to put a finger on the scale are also illegal. They are based on mischievous fear-mongering about the integrity of our elections.
I ask you to do what Gavin Newsom is doing in California.
Enact a law that makes it a felony for anyone to seize the ballots before counting.
California Gov.
Gavin Newsom will introduce new legislation making ballot seizure before they are counted and certified by a state or county official a felony.
Please take a lesson from Trump's January 6th insurrection: we came so close to ultimate peril. All the gaming out of what Trump might do if he lost did not include predictions or contingency plans for such an occurrence.
We now need guardrails at every level for an undeniable threat whose actual shape we cannot predict.
