To the editor:In the run-up to this week’s election, the Trump regime intensified its multiple outpouring of intimidation tactics to scare or confuse certain groups of eligible voters, threaten election officials and overturn actual results.Because this was written before election day, it’s unknown if the regime attempted something even more drastic in the days just before Nov. 3. To preclude the quick resolution of post-election standoffs, the Trump regime disabled the Federal Elections Commission earlier this year.Even today, it’s very likely that the outcome of several crucial races is still in doubt. Whenever the results are known (probably weeks away in California for some Congressional races), one interesting analysis would be comparing the numbers with those of the plethora of polls trying to predict the outcome.Yet to unfold in the coming days, and probably unknown to a great majority of people, are the official vote certifications by boards of election canvass.
