We’ve heard a lot about the groups of voters that Kamala Harris seems to be struggling with – or at least not doing as well as Joe Biden did with them four years ago. Yet, the vice president has a small national edge over Donald Trump. How is that possible?
Reminder of why the winner of the 2000 election didn’t become President () When you have both an electoral college and first past the post voting system, close races get ugly and questionable. If a higher percentage of people would vote, we wouldn’t see such a close race.

Because a criminally corrupt, partisan, captured supreme court stole the election! When you’re the highest court in the land, they let you grab em by the justice…
I’m also willing to bet the SC will steal 2024 too and, despite the many threats and objections from Democrats, they and the population will ultimately roll over and accept the Christian fascist coup. Prove me wrong America! I double dare you!
That was the next layer, but they can’t get to that point if the voting isn’t close. I don’t disagree that elections is one of the many reasons why the court got stacked, but way before the SC there WILL be corruption attempts at the voting level. See Steve Bannon’s commentary on how they’ve put people in place in voting areas and have formulated a plan to question voter authenticity. They know they can’t win with a fair election, so they’re finding more and more ways to subtly cheat. Or maybe not even subtle now, since they keep saying everything out loud.
And the best way to counter this is drown the attempt in voter numbers, so that even if ballots are questioned or tossed or people turned away, the number still are high.
SCOTUS knew that Gore would win. They found an out by saying that the Secretary of State had a right to cancel recounts when she felt like it and that was that.

That’s why they’re manufacturing excuses to e.g. throw out Atlanta’s votes (and presumably planning similar fraud in other swing states).
