My prediction is that free and fair elections will continue and that there will be no violence at the polls. In this election or the next one.
No states will need to pass any laws in regards to either.

I predict many arrests for voter intimidation. Besides government-sponsored voter intimidation like making it illegal to give people waiting in lines free water, several extremist groups have announced plans for things that certainly constitute voter intimidation. Like standing around ballot drop boxes with assault rifles. Now maybe they won't do that, but they certainly seem pretty determined.

Flori-duh is arresting folks for "voter fraud.". The irony is that if you Google "voter fraud," it's all Republicans who are literally doing it.

Coming soon to a state near you, and me.

No states will need to pass any laws in regards to either. No State has ever needed to pass any laws, but they still have, and will. So long as Republicans have control anywhere, they will restrict voting.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

I predict many arrests for voter intimidation. You predicted that Trump would be in jail or have fled the country by now. I predicted he would be living and golfing in Maralago today. How many arrests were there during the last election? I predict there will be no increase over previous elections. There is nothing special about this election. Unless your local candidates and races are a lot more exciting than mine. Nothing and no one to bring out the armed intimidators. Now maybe they won't do that That's what I say. Maybe they won't do anything at all. And this election will be just like every other election. Just like the next election is going to be.

It's kind of weird because you seem to be contradicting yourself.
First you're mocking my mention of anti-democracy operatives, aka thugs etc, then you imply that if you don't fight back, your ship isn't worthy of surviving a "storm".
Can't have it both ways. I simply have faith that the America we have built is a sturdy enough ship to survive any storm. You. on the other hand, are running about and shouting that the ship is sinking. Your ship is apparently weak and unseaworthy. Mine is going to weather this storm without any problems. I have faith that our system is seaworthy, but I am not willing to ignore the storm. Sturdy ships have been lost at sea with some regularity, and keeping up maintenance and protecting the ship by sailing out of harm's way are the best preventatives for sinking.

Coming soon to a state near you, and me. It's already happened in Texass too.
