"Election Day is Nov. 8, but legal challenges already begin"
"WASHINGTON (AP) — Election Day is 12 days away. But in courtrooms across the country, efforts to sow doubt over the outcome have already begun."
"More than 100 lawsuits have been filed this year around the Nov. 8 elections. The legal challenges, largely by Republicans," target rules for mail-in voting, early voting, voter access, voting machines, voting registration, the counting of mismarked absentee ballots and access for partisan poll watchers."
"The cases likely preview a potentially contentious post-election period and the strategy stems partly from the failure of Donald Trump and his allies. The current effort, however, is more formalized, well-funded and well-organized and is run by the Republican National Committee. The RNC said it has a multimillion-dollar “election integrity” team"
"Some Republican candidates have already said they will not accept a loss or have planted doubt on the election process despite no evidence of fraud.
“The problem with the Republican Party right now is that conceding you lost an election is the only thing that will hurt you,” Elias said. Contesting an election that is clearly lost is now where all the incentive structure is, and that is incredibly corrosive for democracy.”

In other words, if you are Republican, you can never lose an election, if you lose, it is because the election was rigged, just what the Founding Fathers envisioned, and who says Trump isn't a threat to democracy
