A comment on They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45. Parent comment
- You only need a few dozen state reps in a few swing states to override the popular vote and choose their own electors.
- 51 senators to reject the election results.
- A rigged Supreme Court that could choose a case from a lower court related to elections and rule whatever they want.
We think we have a robust and stable democracy, but we're already halfway there in most of these events.
