If the U.S. held free and fair elections, there would be no doubt the Republicans (and Trump’s power along with them) would be swept aside during the midterms on three November. We already know Trump and the Republicans have rigged the elections: there will not be free and fair elections. They have:

  • redistricted mid-decade

  • restricted who can vote

  • attempted to stop mailing ballots

  • threatened intimidation tactics at polling places

  • seized ballots from a county election office

  • sued more than 30 states to get their voter rolls

  • threatened to prosecute election officials

  • called for Republicans to “take over the voting”

  • refused to commit to accepting the results

  • used a federal immigration database to flag voters as noncitizens

  • cut federal election security support to the states

  • ordered an investigation of ActBlue, the Democrats’ main fundraising platform

  • delayed the release of a federal voting machine security study

Despite their efforts, they may still lose, and Trump and the Republicans are setting the groundwork for that as well. Based on past actions, this is what Trump and the Republicans are likely to do.
