Democrats have a plan if Trump prematurely declares election victory

Nov 1 (Reuters) - Democrats are readying a rapid-fire response to flood social media and the airwaves with calls for calm and patience with vote-counting should Donald Trump try to prematurely claim election victory, as he did in 2020, Harris campaign and party officials told Reuters.

The Republican candidate told reporters this week that he hoped to be able to declare victory on Election Day, although election experts have cautioned that it could take several days for the final result to be known, especially if there are demands for vote recounts in some key areas. Trump is locked in a razor-thin race with Democratic rival Kamala Harris.

U.S. election winners are typically declared by major media outlets who analyze vote counts provided by election officials. While candidates sometimes declare victory before those calls are made, it is unusual to do so before the winner is at least arguably apparent.

"We are sadly ready if he does and, if we know that he is actually manipulating the press and attempting to manipulate the consensus of the American people ... we are prepared to respond," Harris said in an interview with ABC on Wednesday.

She gave no details of those preparations, but six Democratic Party and Harris campaign officials said the initial fight against any early Trump victory claim would take place in the court of public opinion. They plan to flood social media and television airwaves with demands that all votes be counted before victories are declared.

"As soon as he (Trump) falsely declares victory, we're ready to get up on TV and provide the truth and tap a broad network of people who can use their influence to push back," a top official with the Democratic National Committee said in an interview.

Translated....  Get ready for some massive virtue signaling, unseen by man before.

States should have a strict deadline for returning their EC.

Be advised, the Democommies will continue stuffing the ballot box until they get the number they need to win.

As we sit here right now, I tell you they have 1 million+ phony ballots already filled out for PA.  If they need more, they will generate them.

This is why all this early voting is corrupting elections.  And having George Soros own the firm that tabulates the vote does not make me feel comfy either.  Mail in ballots MUST have strict rules adhered to, i.e. dates they must be submitted by, signatures verified.  And no mass mailings of mail in ballots.  It must require a signed form requesting a ballot, no exception.  Any other approach guarantees cheating.  And no stinking judge should have the right to over rule the laws as established by the legislature in each state.

Hope the GOP has their army of lawyers at the ready... us normal plebes have no power in this fight.

Ah yes, lawyers.  One million would not make me feel comfortable.  Whores one and almost all!

And even if Trump wins, there is no guarantee they will seat him come January.  What if the Dems and RINOs refuse to seat Trump in office?  What then?

It goes to the Supreme Court, and corrupt Roberts and the bimbo that has no idea what a woman is decide who wins the 2024 election?  Ah, yes, that will enable one to sleep at night. [sarcasm]

Then we have a true constitutional crisis... depending on how it plays out. But whomever gets the EC votes is the President, period, whether they seat him or not. I don't think it will happen.
