It's the way of the GOP. Page 1 of the playbook. The GOP can't win on polices, they have none except tax cuts for rich people, so the only way to stay in power, is to Gerrymader the districts in their favor. That's how you destroy a state. Look at rankings for Healthcare, education and average salary, you will find red states rank towards the bottom of each category. Every time a Republican is President, we end up with a bad economy.
@@toomanydonuts- exactly! The chaos was always there, but it was a quiet chaos. Rump says the quiet stuff out loud and has outed the entire Republican Party for the cowards they are. They have been doing this stuff behind-the-scenes for DECADES, and anyone who has ever voted Republican is complicit. They are a disgusting bunch!
No, it is not "ridiculous" as some are saying. It should be a crime in all FEDERAL elections and anyone refusing to certify should be prosecuted for FEDERAL ELECTION INTERFERENCE. Why do our systems even allow these types of abuses, especially by MAGA deniers ?
The Officials have ONLY ONE TASK. However it means being honest and that is not a Republican trait. VOTE BLUE no matter what. Do not let those damn Red Hats take away the Right to EXPRESS your Democratic Right. VOTE BLUE PLEASE
Voting blue is important but not enough. They will eagerly throw out millions of blue votes so long as we don't take down their entire anti-democratic machine.

@@itemushmush Well both really , but Marc does the main work and Sophie presents it to us beautifully. Marc has now been retained by Kamala Harris /Tim Walz ticket to work for them which is good news.
Greatful for the assurances, but still worried sick. Why? 1. The of dozens of certification refusals, obstructions and lawsuits they bomb the election with could end up putting the election in the hands of the SCOTUS MAGA-WCN majority. 2. If the election results aren't fully resolved and certified by Jan 20th, the 20th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution automatically makes Speaker of the House Mike Johnson the interim President of the United States, and embued with the new immunity for anything he deems an 'official act.' This doesn't bode well for democracy.
So you are receiving all the ballots you requested like last time, even those for your great grandparents who you visit in the graveyard. Monsters, the lot of you x
Thank you Mr. Elias and your law firm for fighting against these anti democratic, voter supression laws,and lawsuits. I am so concerned about the future of American democracy.
how somebody who has a history of refusing to certify or has been involved in any way in trying to deny or overturn an election can be eligible to become an election official is beyond me
sure, like we did last time. How many of them got jail time? How many are going to trial? Not many, and only the underlings. None of the planners or instigators (trump and the GOP) are going to jail for any of the last election fraud they tried to pull.

Thank you Democracy Docket. Your work is most needed for our peace of mind. There needs to be laws in place to stop this cheating in its tracks with penalties of fines and jail.
If you look up "abolition of the Electoral College", you will see how long it's been that people have been calling for that. The bigger problem is how long establishment PTB have been turning a deaf ear to the calls for it.
It's too late. Republicans don't believe there are consequences to criminal actions. Republicans are in control in majority of almost every state capitol.
I did hear one of the Heritage Foundation representatives say that that have judges in place and waiting to help them when lawsuits are filed regarding this election.
Yes but Merrick Garland is quite adept at ignoring his job and will declare that this is a matter to be decided by the states - states that are declaring the rights of democrats do not matter.
Wait a minute. "Life in federal prison?" Really, Your Majesty? I agree they ought to be criminally prosecuted, and after their time served, not be allowed to hold public office. But *life in federal prison*? I am really glad we live in a country where people aren't sent to the Gulag for political crimes.
Life? Nah. But some time behind bars should be on the table and being permanently banned from participating in election administration should be a mandatory punishment.
Or just copy the non complicated system that most other countries use by adding up the total votes across the country and using that to determine who get the job. Much less scope for individuals interfering, much fairer as it is one person = one vote, with all counting equally. Probably better to have a formal procedure for raising and investigating any malpractice too.
It won’t come in my lifetime, but I predict that the Electoral College will be eliminated by an Amendment to the Constitution by 2075 at the latest. Maybe by 2050.
The EC is not obsolete the method states use to choose electors is bad. Originally state legislatures did this which actually makes since. The average person does not really understand the relationship between his/her state and the federal government. Most could not even state what the few and defined powers of the federal government are. Two huge political parties and the media tell the people who to vote for every four years and the people think they have free choice in the matter. It is nothing but a popularity contest at this point.
Imagine having literally nothing better to do and instead work to disenfranchise millions of Americans you’ve never met because an impeached convicted felon told you to
@@1ACL I love Joe Biden but his biggest mistake was putting the coward Merrick Garland as AG. Garland has let the enemy over-run our democracy and he still hides under his desk.
This is what I’m most worried about, the states taking control and either delaying everything and saying there’s fraud or outright refusing to certify the votes in key districts. Kamala will take care of getting the votes but MAGA will try to hold the votes back.
Can one get hold of the project 2025 lists of candidates for positions in the Trump admin and cross-reference those with the election officials? That would certainly prove bias and self-interest in the outcome of the election.
I've heard that tens of thousands have applied for the various jobs that will become available should Trump win. We know that these rogue electorates are all Republicans.
They will be prosecuted, convicted and sent to jail. Certification is a ministerial task. No judgment is required . Do it or go to jail. It is a simple non political task .
Let's hope it doesn't get that far. I'm praying maybe some states that normally vote red turn blue like they did for Obama. I hear New Hampshire is one of them, but it only has 3 electoral votes.
I don't think the majority of even the current SCOTUS would do that! Maybe one or two of them -- cough, cough, sneeze, Thomas, Alito -- excuse me, but vote certification is really not the point in the process at which selection of outcomes is controlled.
This is alot different. The Supreme Court is already being investigated for their own crimes. To many people are already getting sued. I mean is it worth going to prison for trump who's going to prison anyways
Because Georgia has a Republican governor, Republican Supreme court, Republican house & Senate etc. Who's going to fire them since voting is the states responsibility.
Thank you for educating America! I hope, eternally, for our education system to incorporate lessons on how our government works, the history of why, AND the consequences if/when it doesn't work.
Thank you for staying on top of this mess, created by criminals trying to destroy our country! God bless you and everyone in your organization. Very much appreciated.
Mark Elias is a hero to this country. He is literally saving it. Mark you are doing a very great thing and I wish everyone to know you are saving our democracy by protecting our votes. I thank you so very much.
We are so grateful VP Harris has called upon Marc Elias to lead and navigate the legal system for the Harris-Walz 2024 campaign! There is no better group to assure a fair and legal outcome to our elections!!🇺🇸
What would happen if an indignant crowd prevented those, officials from going home until they had done their jobs? They had one job--one f***ing job...
Imagine believing yourself to be entitled to disenfranchse tens or hundreds of thousands of voters because your personal sense of who should win does not correspond with the vote. The *unmitigated nerve.*
The mentality is not about who has the right to win but about who should be able to vote. They think only "decent, respectable" (white-Christians owning homes and businesses) should be able to vote.
you make sure those assholes know election interference is a federal offense,and if they refuse to do their jobs just because tey dont like the results,they will be held accountable with fines and jail time dear leader or any one else wont be able to save them simle as that

Thank you for this! Please talk more about the timing. Concerned about the significant delays in justice we are witnessing. The courts are so slow!
But with this Supreme Court, you cannot say for sure that all will be well in the end.
Let's hope it doesn't get that far. I'm praying maybe some states that normally vote red turn blue like they did for Obama. I hear New Hampshire is one of them, but it only has 3 electoral votes.
Hurrah for Democracy Docket!
Mazel tov! You are doing a true mitzvah! 🎉😊
We are lost if this happens. The Supreme Court will side with MAGA.
I don't think the majority of even the current SCOTUS would do that! Maybe one or two of them -- cough, cough, sneeze, Thomas, Alito -- excuse me, but vote certification is really not the point in the process at which selection of outcomes is controlled.
Ignore the Supreme courts decisions.
@@shantalynn Yes, really not...but the Repubs try to do it anyway.
This is alot different. The Supreme Court is already being investigated for their own crimes. To many people are already getting sued. I mean is it worth going to prison for trump who's going to prison anyways
No longer will they be allowed to interfere
Thank you for all you do for Democracy. Every day heroes doing extraordinary things.
So, we have Janis Johnson, fascist; Rick Jeffries, fascist; Janel King, fascist. Why are election deniers even allowed near the votes?
"Contingent Election"
Because Georgia has a Republican governor, Republican Supreme court, Republican house & Senate etc. Who's going to fire them since voting is the states responsibility.
LoveMark.❤
In any other job if someone said "I have a right not to do my job" they would no longer have that job.
I get some comfort from your information about elections. What happened in 2020/2021 was stunning and I could not make sense of it.
What happens?
Ya lock ‘em up.
🇺🇸
F A I L and J A I L is what will happen, and lots of laughter at the fools attempting to subvert.
Keep up the good work trying to save our democracy!
Thank you for educating America! I hope, eternally, for our education system to incorporate lessons on how our government works, the history of why, AND the consequences if/when it doesn't work.
Thank you for staying on top of this mess, created by criminals trying to destroy our country! God bless you and everyone in your organization. Very much appreciated.
Keep up your good work. Blue💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
VOTE BLUE ALL DOWN BALLOT 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
thanks for the breakdown explanation, Sophie!!! appreciate all you do! ;-)
Mark Elias is a hero to this country. He is literally saving it. Mark you are doing a very great thing and I wish everyone to know you are saving our democracy by protecting our votes. I thank you so very much.
Can they be charged with voter suppression or vote stealing.
I actually live in fear of this issue..
We are so grateful VP Harris has called upon Marc Elias to lead and navigate the legal system for the Harris-Walz 2024 campaign! There is no better group to assure a fair and legal outcome to our elections!!🇺🇸
Remember that republicans let it slip that they also have favourable JUDGES stnding by in the swing states. Any action on that?
Thank you. ❤❤❤
For being such an important democracy, you have a very shaky electoral system. Don't you have to change that?
Yes we do.
Good video: thanks for keeping us up to date.
Law needs to make the results safe, and complete, and accurate. ANYONE who obstructs that process should be in jail.
thank you! this is such a worry.
20 yrs jail in Alaska will fix this real quick
What would happen if an indignant crowd prevented those, officials from going home until they had done their jobs? They had one job--one f***ing job...
You, and your law firm, will go down in history as one of the savers of democracy.
Imagine believing yourself to be entitled to disenfranchse tens or hundreds of thousands of voters because your personal sense of who should win does not correspond with the vote. The *unmitigated nerve.*
The mentality is not about who has the right to win but about who should be able to vote. They think only "decent, respectable" (white-Christians owning homes and businesses) should be able to vote.
##WeWillNotGoBack2024
Thank you good to know 🇱🇷💙
you make sure those assholes know election interference is a federal offense,and if they refuse to do their jobs just because tey dont like the results,they will be held accountable with fines and jail time dear leader or any one else wont be able to save them simle as that
Thank you for your incredibly important work for democracy. Vote 💙. End this MAGA madness.
I think the names and emails etc. Of these individuals should be published!
Agreed
Thank you, Democracy Docket!
I pray that things go smoothly this year! I just want my vote to be counted!!
VOTE 🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵
OUR DEMOCRACY and FREEDOM DEPENDS ON IT!!
Thank you Mark for all you do.
But, do they know they will get removed and sued? Or do they still think people can get away with cheating?
