What is being done to prevent the Trump cabal from stealing the next election?

We know they're going to try so presumably the Democrats are planning to counter that.

...there's little they can do with an insufficient number of them to organize a majority to move legislation.

They can't even issue subpoenas in the minority.

Elect more Democrats. Support Democrats in elections.

Don't expect a minority of them to be able to effectively defend against a fascist majority of republicans now ensconsed in ALL branches of the federal government.

Dems who didn't show up on election day left the nation virtually defenseless.

Take to the streets. Keep the heat on republicans, none of them actually inviolable to political pressure.

Democrats in states have been filing court challenges to restrictions placed on their voting by republican state legislators. That's a good place to look for progress and protections.

Vote in the regular election and then walk a block away and vote in the alternative citizens election and compare the votes. Have people slyly hand out information of where to also vote in the alternative citizens election. Then stream online in each district the counting of these votes. And do not vote on a machine that is a dominion voting machines. A repuke brought that company.

That said, we need to vote in each alternative election. And we must do this on the sly.
