Threatening the people who ensure Americans have free and fair elections is becoming a defining feature of U.S. politics. “People will continue to test the limits of our election administration,” said Tammy Patrick, a former election officer in Arizona who now runs the election center at the National Association of Counties.
It’s one of the more troubling aspects of what some see as America’s slide toward anti-democratic tendencies. Here’s what’s going on, three years after Donald Trump’s false claims that he won the 2020 election, and the ensuing insurrection at the U.S. Capitol — and a year before we have another presidential election.
They’re still receiving threats: Some say they’ve received messages from anonymous people who claim to know which room their daughter sleeps in, or that their son turns on a certain street to walk to the bus stop in the morning. Sometimes it has gone beyond threats: At least one reported their dog being poisoned. WAPO

I don't wish to keep any candidate off the ballot.
I don't whine about the electoral college.
I never said Bush was not a legit President after 2000.
I never said Bush won due to Diebold machines in 2004.
I never said Putin elected Trump.
I never said resistance.
I never give people excuses about how it's "hard to vote on weekdays" when they have time to stand in line for the newest I-phone.
Yes Yes the Google Jockeys have "links" to Ruling Class members who YES behaved better than Trump. But, this is a shock to you: Trump isn't the universe. He's a putz who was smart to exploit your snobbery ---and he won an election and shoved the SCOTUS up .....well.... ;) you know.
BUT it was rank and file Liberals on TMF all the time, spewing the anti democratic stuff listed above.
And now, yeah, the MAGA folks - some of them have learned well and are doing the same thing.
I'm glad.
Slowly, your democracy is eroding and hopefully with it, your Bill of Rights one day.
But then again secretly you want that too.....you just want Club 401K to retain their rights while being allowed to tell other Americans what to do. You already do that from anything to how people flush toilets to what their kids can eat in school to what their kids are taught about anything from gender to American history.
Dont worry, you'll prevail.
But you will also be in the crosshairs of such erosion of rights and democracy.
It is a happy, wonderful thing and trend to see.
Oh.... "Trump!" - there, that will make you feel at home :)
