Todd Edwards was born on May 12th, 1974 in Dubuque, Iowa, as the son of a farmer and a nurse. During the 1980s farm crisis, his house was mortgaged, which made him become active in politics as a Midwestern populist. He enlisted in the military in 1993, being deployed to Iraq ten years later, where Edwards killed 47 enemy troops. He returned to America in 2006, being narrowly elected to the State Senate two years later. Edwards was known as one of the most populist senators, and soon become the Minority Leader. In 2014, Edwards ran for United States Senate promising protectionism, two-tier universal healthcare, a living wage, protecting unborn life and gun rights and to champion rural infrastructure.
I've seen a lot of news talking about the Republican strategy of filling electoral offices with people who believe the 2022 election was stolen. There are also laws being passed to allow a state legislature or government to override electoral results, sending their own delegates to Congress.
If it comes to pass that the Democratic party wins the presidency in 2024, what happens next?
Will the Republicans in those oversight positions allege fraud again, and throw out results now they have the power to do so?
Where does that end? Will the Democratic party just roll over and accept permanent defeat? Will the supreme court rule one way or another, and will Republicans accept rulings that aren't in their favour? Will the next presidency even be considered legitimate?
What is the end goal of the Republican party?
(I don't think civil war should even be discussed, it just devolves into an extremely polarizing: "X could kick Y's ass" "but but but the military" etc etc, over and over.)
[Updated Newsweek link at bottom with more releveant 2020 coup attempt information]
With the GOP now controlling most swing states' local and state level legislatures, combined with the presumed GOP control of the House of Representatives by 2023, multiple journalistic pieces have been circulating recently discussing the real possibility of the overturning of the (State run) National elections in 2024. With newly uncovered GOP plots and initiatives attempting to do this during the 2020 post-election, the apparatus will be in place in 2024 to see these plan through (of overturning results of elections not won by presumed Presidential candidate Trump).
It should also be noted there's also a narrative circulating by the GOP to deal with a presumed escalated Supreme Court handling of the matter by leveraging the 12th Amendment in a way that supports the notion that the Constitution outlines in basic form, State legislatures have the ultimate authority to decide National elections or to not participate in them at all (under presumption the State preferred candidate isn't the election winner).
What will be the resultant civil result and national response if the GOP overturns a Presidential election for the first time where both the popular and electoral vote is cast aside and overridden by State level officials and a GOP controlled House?

Most of these post are actually really well made, but honestly they're incredibly tedious in my opinion. Personally I'd prefer if these people talents were put to a better use. I understand the results of a campaign trail or president infinity game might be fun to show off, but can't that be done in a single post with a national level wikibox, and a couple state elections.
Just my opinion, these posts just really clog up the sub a lot, and I'd appreciate if your guys' talent was put to something more interesting
Doesn't even have to be Democrat possibly. Maybe we can get a third party in the mix as well.
In a sane world, anyone who did this would lose their job immediately. In the absence of sanity, call Ranthum's office at (608) 266-9175 and if the person who answers lies, point it out and then waste their time and make the conversation extremely awkward.
