This has been talked about constantly, but what can actually be done to stop it? Are we just straight up screwed?

Hillary has already laid the groundwork for this. That’s what she said don’t concede no matter what in election night.

It's funny how alllllll those mail in ballots were cast for Biden in such lopsided numbers compared to those who went vote in person. Crazy, I tell ya.

Blood in the streets if that happened.

Peaceful people would take up arms.

The Reps need to have representation at all the places they collect and count/record the votes. And any counties/states that seem odd, there needs to be a request for recount or something.

I believe there will be some fraud but do not think if in fact the counts show Biden wins, Trump will sue and not allow the results to be finalized until there were recounts and litigation.

Yeah, many specify the necessity for a certain margin of victory to qualify for recount but not all (pretty small margin of course), and some even require the requesting party to foot the bill for the recount. But like you said, it varies a decent amount from state to state. I for one am of the opinion that there won't be as much ability to mail in vote that would foster this possibility as many think.

Biden has already hired 600 litigators to sue everyone and everything on election night.

If this is allowed to happen, I can honestly see this being the first real time a protest on the right gets out of hand and violent.

It won't happen. The Supreme Court will settle it in Trump's favor before massive voter fraud is allowed.

Votes need to count only for that night.



It will take a while for all legally cast absentee and mail in ballots cast to be counted. What concerns me is:

Trump is ahead in a state by 20’000 votes. Look here are 30,000 mail in votes. Oh look 21000 go to Biden and Biden “wins” the state.

I just hope the GOP (sigh) is prepared for this and will help boost the rural vote in these states.

Do they have to make it public knowledge how many absentee and mail-in ballots they receive?

I really don't think nearly as many people are going to vote by mail as you might think. I don't think anyone trusts USPS.
