    • Gerrymandering

    • Fake electors

    • Being suspiciously cozy with the business owners of voting machine companies

    • Voter intimidation by posting ICE/CBP at polls

    • Voter intimidation by stochastic terrorism using their most rabid followers

    • Closing polling places in liberal areas to cause longer lines at the few remaining locations

    • New voter ID laws, including that one that could disenfranchise anyone who has ever changed their name (especially married women and trans people)

    • Trying to make voting by mail illegal

    • Trying to invalidate mail-in votes by any means possible

    • Calling election officials and asking them to “”“find”“” just enough votes to change the outcome

    • Trying to cancel the election entirely due to some “emergency” bullshit (despite the US never having canceled a single election in its entire history, including during the Civil War)

    • Chanting to stop the count when they’re ahead, and chanting to keep counting when they’re behind

    • Filing dozens of (failed) court cases in attempts to overturn election results

    …to name a few.

    Maybe I was being hyperbolic with “30”. Maybe. We’re at 14 now. I bet if you dig deep enough, you can find at least 30 ways the GOP is trying to rig elections.

      • Gerrymandering doesn’t help with national elections like the presidential election

      • Fake electors is legit, but didn’t get used

      • Suspicion isn’t evidence

      • ICE wasn’t at the polls for 2024 that I’m aware of

      I don’t feel the need to continue as your list seems mostly speculative of future elections and not relevant to the 2024 election.

      Edit: I do want to be clear that most of these are very valid concerns for future elections. Just not when discussing Harris losing.
