Trump speech on Thursday regarding invalid elections. [View all]

Some media reports say that Trump will claim he has new evidence that invalidates the elections of Senators Ossoff and Warnock in Georgia. And that he might claim other Dem Senators were fraudulently elected.

If he does make that claim, he will do it in order to get his SAVE Act passed by invalidating some Dem votes in the Senate.

Dem response must be swift and hard. Line in the sand stance.

He might also claim that the supposed election fraud is a national security issue so he will place monitors (ICE?) at voting sites. He might also claim on Thursday or later the need for federal agents to collect voting machines and mail ballots to "verify" the votes. I expect him to say more about penalties for states that refuse to turn over voter data to the feds.

If he says any of the things that I think he will, we have to invalidate HIS claims and refuse to tolerate his desperate grab for Senate and midterm vote control.
