These are some of the questions our panel may address or the moderator may ask of our panelists along with any questions you may wish to ask live: Did the DNC knock out Bernie (again)? Could AG Barr stop the count of mail-in ballots? Could the Trump mega-donor Postmaster General DeJoy slow mail-in ballots? What if Trump's armed white militias show up at the polls with guns? Are the Democrats really banking on Vote-By-Mail fraud? Can state legislators pick electors against the voter's choice? Could Trump bully local election officials and secretary of states? What would "voter fraud" look like in Election 2020? If the counting is stopped could it go to the Congress to decide? Could the election be decided by the Supreme Court with Trump's new pick? Could Trump's armed white militias fight armed black militias in our streets? Could Trump enact the insurrection act, declare martial law & lockup protestors? If Trump loses could he stage a coup and refuse to leave office? Would the Secret Service or the Military cooperate in a coup? Could Trump start a war and declare a national emergency to stop the election? What is the forensic analysis of the poll data now as to who will win? Any chance the Democrats are going to join the rigging game? If Trump loses & refuses to leave the White House--what could we do about it? If Trump is no longer President could he be arrested for crimes he has committed? Could he resign and Pence pardon him? To avoid arrest could he move to a non-extradition country like Israel or Russia? Could the election results be altered by computer fraud? What is the history of stolen Presidential elections? What about Iran and China - are they batting for Biden? How can I safely vote in person or by mail and when? What organizations can I join to help with election integrity? How can we make a citizen firewall to protect the vote? How can I make sure that my vote and your vote- will be counted?
Did Trump’s 2016 presidential victory express the will of the electorate? Or was it based on the same tactics of rampant vote suppression and computerized vote-counting fraud—that have “elected” losing candidates since 2000, including Bush/Cheney and a multitude of other rightist politicians now controlling the Senate and statehouses from coast to coast. These urgent questions have been drowned out by the furor over “Russia-gate”—the story that it was Russia that rigged the 2016 presidential race. We need to focus on the overwhelming evidence that our elections have been stolen time and time again by operatives right here at home. Such criminal activity will certainly destroy American democracy -- unless we face it squarely, talk about it openly, and push for radical reform of our abysmal voting system, one of the worst in the developed world. The cause has taken on special urgency and complexity because 2020 is not an "ordinary" election. The impact of COVID and social distancing poses difficult challenges to both vote casting and vote counting. In this "pandemic election," voter suppression becomes an even greater menace, as Trump and the GOP strive to block the expansion of mail-in voting and throw every possible obstacle in the path of the voters whose votes would bring about their defeat. And there are ominous signs that the president will not accept an electoral defeat but will throw the country into post-election chaos to keep his grip on power. This minefield is the subject of this online panel, which includes four prominent election reform advocates. We will discuss what individual voters must do to protect their own right to vote and avoid falling victim to the suppression schemes. We will also look at what we can still do collectively to bolster the security and integrity of the election. And how to prepare to respond to several post-election scenarios that may well put our democracy to a very serious and dangerous test. Please join us in gaming it all out so we don't just repeat the disasters of the past.
