Restore the election!

This was being passed around by the lefties prior to 11.3. No one is stepping up to stop the cheaters outside of a few lawyers. There is a lot that is useful on this page. Can someone set up a website and adapt the content? I can help copy-edit but I am an internet idiot and can't set up a webpage.

2. Do call it a coup. We know it’s a coup if the government:

   Stops counting votes; Certifies someone a winner who didn’t get the most votes; or Allows someone to stay in power who didn’t win the election.

3. Know that coups have been stopped by regular folks.

4. Be ready to act quickly — and not alone.

5. Focus on widely shared democratic values, not on individuals.

6. Convince people not to freeze or just go along.

7. Commit to actions that represent rule of law, stability and nonviolence.

Stopping a coup is dependent on the size of mobilizations and winning over the center. It is really a fight for legitimacy. Which voice is legitimate? Some people will have already made up their minds. The aim, then, is convincing those who are uncertain — which may be a more surprising number than you expect.

Mass resistance to coups wins by using walk-outs and strikes, refusing orders and shutting down civil society.

To swing them to our side, that uncertain center has to be convinced that “we” represent stability and “the coup plotters” represent hostility to the democratic norms of elections and voting.

We prevent that possibility when we dehumanize potential defectors, make sweeping statements like “the police won’t help,” never encourage people to join our side and create chaotic scenes on the street.

Historically, whichever side resorts to violence the most tends to lose. In a moment of uncertainty, people pick the side that promises maximum stability, respects democratic norms and appears to be the safer bet. It’s a contest of who can be the most legitimate.
