How Trump and the GOP could steal the election in 2024 — unless we act NOW!

In the days between the November 3rd, 2020 presidential election
and January 6th, 2021, the day Congress was scheduled to certify
Joe Biden as winner and next occupant of the White House, Donald
Trump and his inner circle were working to subvert the will of the
American people. The plot that proceeded the pro-Trump violent
insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6th, involved
conservative lawyer and Trump advisor, John Eastman, who argued
that the Constitution’s 12th Amendment gave then Vice President,
Mike Pence, the discretion to decide which states’ electoral votes
should be counted if there was a dispute — because GOP legislators
had already been primed to make baseless allegations that
widespread voter fraud had tainted the election. The plot would
have several key states submit competing slates of electors,
thereby throwing the election result into dispute. The 12th
Amendment dictates that if no candidate achieves the necessary
majority, the matter goes to the House of Representatives to be
decided, where each state is given one vote. On January 6th, 2021,
the Republicans controlled 26 state delegations, just enough to
overturn the will of the people and award the election victory to
Trump. In this edition of Between the Lines, we speak with
bestselling author and investigative journalist, Greg Palast, who
has been reporting on voter suppression issues for 22 years. In his
recent article titled “What do you call a failed insurrection?
Practice” he explains how the same elements in the unsuccessful
plot to steal the election in 2020 will likely be executed again by
Trump and the GOP in the 2024 election. Palast warns that, unless
we can preserve democracy in this year’s 2022 midterm election,
Trump and the Republicans could very well succeed. Transcript:
