Being suspiciously cozy with the business owners of voting machine companies
Voter intimidation by posting ICE/CBP at polls
Voter intimidation by stochastic terrorism using their most rabid followers
Closing polling places in liberal areas to cause longer lines at the few remaining locations
New voter ID laws, including that one that could disenfranchise anyone who has ever changed their name (especially married women and trans people)
Trying to make voting by mail illegal
Trying to invalidate mail-in votes by any means possible
Calling election officials and asking them to “”“find”“” just enough votes to change the outcome
Trying to cancel the election entirely due to some “emergency” bullshit (despite the US never having canceled a single election in its entire history, including during the Civil War)
Chanting to stop the count when they’re ahead, and chanting to keep counting when they’re behind
Filing dozens of (failed) court cases in attempts to overturn election results
…to name a few.
Maybe I was being hyperbolic with “30”. Maybe. We’re at 14 now. I bet if you dig deep enough, you can find at least 30 ways the GOP is trying to rig elections.
Changing laws is, like 1 of 30 different ways the GOP is trying to rig elections.
Cool, what are the other 29?
Gerrymandering
Fake electors

Gerrymandering doesn’t help with national elections like the presidential election
Fake electors is legit, but didn’t get used
Suspicion isn’t evidence
ICE wasn’t at the polls for 2024 that I’m aware of
I don’t feel the need to continue as your list seems mostly speculative of future elections and not relevant to the 2024 election.
Edit: I do want to be clear that most of these are very valid concerns for future elections. Just not when discussing Harris losing.
