   I've written about the logic behind #Harris' campaigning with Liz #Cheney. But one thing it'll do IN ADDITION to electoral help is create a nub of Republicans who can fight back against fuckery in real time

   Adam #Kinzinger:

   I will do a longer video on this, but the real pressure point after the election will be in state houses. MAGA will pressure republican state houses where Kamala wins to simply not certify. Then what?

   Likely Supreme Court, possible violence. Be aware

     I don't know what Kinzinger is smoking or whether something got garbled in transcription, but state legislatures have zero role in certifying elections. That is done by the governor, as was made law in 2022. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_Count_Reform_and_Presidential_Transition_Improvement_Act_of_2022#State_procedures
