Naturally, this assumes Harris wins.
When a member of Georgia’s Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections refused to join her colleagues as they certified two primaries this year, she claimed she had been denied her right to examine a long list of election records for signs of fraud or other issues.
Now the board member, Julie Adams, an avowed believer in the false theory that the 2020 election was stolen from former president Donald Trump, is suing the board, hoping a judge will affirm that right and potentially empower others in similar positions elsewhere to hold up the outcome of elections.
To voting rights activists, election law specialists and Democrats, such actions represent an ominous sign that could presage a chaotic aftermath to the 2024 election. They are particularly worried about the threat of civil unrest or violence, especially if certification proceeds amid protests or efforts to block it.
There is a Rolling Stone article making the rounds pointing out there are 70 electors in 5 swing states who are avowed trumpist election deniers. Some of whom have previously refused to certify results on a county level. The examples below were for a primary election and the general election.
President Donald Trump has invited Michigan Republican lawmakers to meet with him at the White House on Friday, according to a Republican source familiar with the request — the latest move in his long-shot bid to overturn the election results.
The invitation, which was confirmed by a White House official, comes as Trump's legal team withdrew from its federal lawsuit in the state and after the president called two local canvassing board Republicans, who later sought to rescind their certification of votes in the county that includes Detroit, one of those board members told NBC News.

Delaying certification at any step could hold up or halt the process, potentially preventing the rightful winner from taking office.
Since 2020, county-level election officials in five key battleground states — Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania — have tried to block the certification of vote tallies in both primaries and general elections.
Are there sufficient legal remedies in place to deal with state officials loyal to trump, the batshyte crazy ones who still believe in the Big Lie, if numerous counties are not able to certify their results?
