That’s the whole point of Democracy Docket and Marc Elias’s advance efforts. Most of the potential bad actors are already exposed ([**_Rolling Stone_ article**](https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-swing-state-officials-election-deniers-1235069692/), **[Rachel Maddow](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQfI3awx-wo)**, etc.) and the remedial filings, lawsuits, and countersuits to overcome the bad-faith officials are already drafted. There’s an idea floating out there that a some number of local officials somewhere can summarily “_refuse to certify_” and suddenly that whole state’s election edifice comes crashing down. And that it will happen in every single swing state, and that will be it – the election is then thrown to the House! Thrown to the Supreme Court! **[That’s just not how it’s going to go down](https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/election-denial-cant-overcome-election-certification-protections)**. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trump-pressured-georgia-official-to-find-enough-votes-to-overturn-election/929592)._
