Something isn't right

65. The CREW report recognizes that the threat exists, which is what the OP also says, and recommends

preventative measures such as:

State election boards, secretaries of state, attorneys general and local prosecutors
should explicitly advise county officials of their non-discretionary certification
duties and the penalties for non-compliance before any election, as Michigan
authorities did earlier this year.

States authorities should bring expedited mandamus litigation to swiftly resolve
certification disputes in the state’s highest court, as New Mexico and Nevada
authorities have.

States should utilize mechanisms, where available, for state election officials to
step in to certify elections in place of obstructionist county officials.

States should utilize mechanisms, where available, for state election boards or
courts to remove county officials who willfully disregard their legal duties, as
North Carolina, New Mexico and Nevada have in place.

If county officials willfully violate the law, state authorities should pursue
appropriate civil and criminal remedies. If state authorities fail to act, then
federal authorities should pursue appropriate civil and criminal remedies to
protect federal voting rights.

The report doesn't say 'don't worry about it measures are in place.' Instead it suggests ACTIONS to counter the possibility of non-compliance, four of which require State action which states may or may not be willing to do. And it cites previous actions as examples of deterrence. All these are good and should cause deniers to think twice...but the report exists BECAUSE of a real threat that should not be ignored. We well know that deniers and cult members aren't good at making wise legal decisions.

Good reference to the report though...more widely distributed the better. Thanks to the OP and responses.

I think enormous voter turn out and dem sweeps would help
