I wish that I had thought of it for my first reply, but it wasn't until later when I was joking about how wacky some people had become over the election that it struck me. Ah... but then the thread had rightfully dropped into obscurity and it seemed like I would just be piling on. Then you decided to give me the excuse. Finding the clip took about ten seconds (first hit with "turn the machines back on&quot .

For the record - the OP is worthy of nothing but contempt and derision. Some nut with a blog at Huffington pretends that she's reporting about a "report" from an "institute" (that is really just her own work re-branded)... and you find it to be credible?

In barely two weeks were supposed to identify everyone who had their vote suppressed and give them a chance to vote? Based on the "authority" of the President and a minority in Congress to suspend the electoral college? A crime that has supposedly been happening for years is going to proven, prosecuted, and adjudicated (with remediation actions) in two weeks when we've gotten nowhere in identifying this upcoming crime while controlling the justice department/FBI/etc. for years?

There is zero chance of keeping Trump from taking office apart from the recounts showing something that's almost impossible. This person's fantasy should have stayed in her head. It makes her (and anyone repeating it as a legitimate option) look ridiculous. It doesn't belong on DU outside of the creative speculation group.

The most painful part of this election cycle (apart from losing of course) has been watching so many of our own start to act exactly as we expected Trumpers to act when he lost. We were all prepared for unending unhinged irrationality from the far right... only to end up watching their schadenfreude instead. Please stop giving them ammunition.
