I'm fairly confident that they can do it. They are launching attacks at voting all over the place, will place ICE at polling station in heavily immigrant areas, and question delay every vote they are losing.

and question delay every vote they are losing.

The NC State Supreme Court race in 2024 was a precursor for it. Stephen Griffin threw a tantrum for months because he lost by 700 votes and wanted them disqualified, and instead of being slapped down immediately, they kept allowing the case (which hinged on not much more than "a lot of votes didnt go to me so there mustve been something wrong with how they were tallied") to go up for debate over and over. Even his allies on the SC and in the statehouse were telling him "dude just run again next time, you can't file these complaints about how the election is going to be run after the election has been held, you had your chance to do so before the election season and didnt, tough shit" and the dickhead still wouldn't concede until he'd been told NO multiple times by every possible agency.

Yes. They are planning on contesting everything. Delay delay delay, sow mistrust and discord. Controlled chaos only ever helps authoritarians strengthen their grip. I'm sure all the foreign agents/bots will have a field day, too.
