"In 2020, lawyers, judges and ordinary citizens forced the certification of the presidential election in the states. In Wayne county, Michigan, ground zero for the first nullification attempt, when officials flirted with refusing to certify the election, the public flooded the meeting. The plot collapsed the moment that locals caught wind of it. Republicans were willing to subvert democracy in the dark, but not so much in front of an engaged public."
"Number two, create voter buddy systems, especially for neighbors who fear intimidation at the polls. One tactic experts are worried about is the potential deployment of ICE agents to polling places. You can see why some qualified Latino voters never mind Latino voters anybody who's a little bit brown like me, wouldn't want to get caught up in a raid, thrown into detention until they can clear their names, just for going out to vote."
Confronting relatives who endorse a third presidential term can be part of broader civic readiness. Visible public turnout at county meetings, certification hearings, and dropbox sites deters secretive attempts to nullify election results, as occurred when local engagement stopped a Wayne County certification threat in 2020. Establish voter buddy systems to assist neighbors who fear intimidation or immigration enforcement at polls. Organize local rapid-response teams to appear at courts, county meetings, and polling sites as a physical deterrent to improper actions. Monitor other states' tactics, treat recent deployments and purges as trial runs, and refuse to normalize talk of a third term.
