Warning Signs of Election Interference: The Fulton County raid and other recent developments show how Trump and his allies are moving to discredit losses and control future elections.
Warning Signs of Election Interference: The Fulton County raid and other recent developments show how Trump and his allies are moving to discredit losses and control future elections.
With the 2026 midterms approaching, the Trump administration has shifted from imposing civil litigation and political pressure to threats of forceful, violent law enforcement and criminal prosecution and removing from states their constitutional prerogative to control their own elections.
What comes next? No one should be surprised if the Fulton County raid turns out to be just the start of a broader strategy to potentially discredit unfavorable election results in 2026 and 2028.

They are testing the fences while the DOJ is still trying to figure out how to put its shoes on

This isn’t about proving fraud. It’s about making every loss feel illegitimate by default.
The mechanism is exhausting the system until nobody trusts it, including the people running it. Once that happens, every result becomes negotiable.
Zoom out and it’s the same play everywhere now. If you can’t control outcomes, you attack the process until outcomes stop meaning anything.

LOL. SMH. Americans. Fools did this to yourselves TWICE. But take comfort, you were able to poke the “Dem establishment” in the eye.

Funny thing is, the outside world knows that not only is this happening, but it will happen in the open, trump and Co will basically admit every step of the way that they are going to steal / disrupt the midterms. Then they will do it. And the rest of the world will once again be jsut fuckign stunned and confused how the msot powerful country in the world full to the brim of self styled independent thinkers, gun nuts and constitutional defenders will do zero to stop it.
USA is going to be an isolated, Russia-esque state, and when the rest of the world starts treating yall like Russia, you will have their economy too.

The republican party. Just say it. It isn’t trump and his allies, it’s the GOP.
They supported, protected, and propped up this diseased piece of shit while confirming the foreign assets in his cabinet, and the GOP wants him to succeed.

Courts and recounts already affirmed the 2020 results. An unprecedented FBI raid to seize ballots looks less like justice and more like producing doubts before 2026.

Every accusation a confession. When you start accusing red states of cheating because you don’t like the , We know who the real cheater is

The chain of custody for the ballots/records taken from Fulton County has been broke, and they can never be trusted again.
I expect to hear soon “We recounted them and Trump WON!!!!”

Seizing ballots and election records from a country that already already certified its results and survived recounts feels less like law enforcement and more like political theater designed to cast doubt before 2026.

Why aren’t they investigating the 2016 and 2024 elections? Oh that’s right he liked those results. I think this last election was more corrupt.

What can states do now to safeguard elections from the interference they are telegraphing 9 months out?
– Make ICE enforcement unlawful during voting times as they have been used for intimidation.
– Make it unlawful for any agency to seize ballots during or after the election.
– Make purges of the voter roll require notification with instructions on how to re-register and unlawful within 9 months of an election.
– Allow same day registration to vote.
– Expand early voting and mail in ballots
– Make it unlawful for votes to be discarded for dubious reasons.
– States should coordinate with joint legislation and legal action before and after the election.
Other ideas?
