MSNBC host and liberal star Rachel Maddow is concerned that Trump-allied election boards could be used as sleeper cells to cancel out a Democratic election victory in November.
Maddow, an icon of blue America, has made increasingly outrageous claims about the 2024 election, including that a re-elected Trump would put her in an internment camp.
In an opinion piece published by the The New York Times In an article titled “What worries me most about election night,” the veteran commentator says she believes the RNC has put people in the right place to carry out an election theft this year.
‘From Donald Trump and Ronna McDaniel, then chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, phoned local officials in Michigan In November 2020, to encourage them not to certify vote totals, Republicans have quietly seeded county and state election boards with enthusiastic allies,” Maddow writes.
The presenter specifically refers to the state of Georgia, where Trump’s efforts to seek new votes earned him accusations of electoral interference.
MSNBC host and liberal star Rachel Maddow is concerned that Trump-allied election boards could be used as sleeper cells to cancel out a Democratic election victory in November.
In an op-ed published by the New York Times on Monday titled “What Worries Me Most About Election Night,” the longtime commentator says she believes the RNC has put people in place to carry out an election theft this year.
Oral arguments were expected to be held in October in the Georgia case, so it would likely be postponed until after November before the trial was adjourned again.
Maddow argues that new laws implemented by the state’s election board give each Georgia county the right to delay or simply refuse to certify results in order to conduct a “reasonable investigation,” leaving vague what counts as such.
He then lays out his nightmare scenario, where Democrats win Nevada, Wisconsin and Michigan, while Republicans win Arizona and Pennsylvania and the entire election hinges on the outcome of Georgia.
Then, Maddow argues, a “reasonable investigation” into the results in the Peach State could begin.
“A clear look at the Republicans’ handling of election administration since Mr. Trump’s attempt to overturn the last election should prepare us: refusals to certify results should not necessarily be seen as an indicator of real election problems; they are more likely part of a bad-faith strategy to interfere with the democratic process,” he said.
He ended by encouraging voters to know who works on their election boards and to apply public pressure to certify the election results, but he leaves with a warning.
‘No one should be surprised when certification denials occur or when they are exploited to try to maximize chaos and unrest.’
Maddow, a well-known supporter of Trump’s presidential campaign, said in August that she fears Trump could become “president for life” — in other words, a dictator — if he wins a second term in the White House.

Earlier this year, Maddow said she even fears Trump will put her in an internment camp if he is re-elected in the next election. choice season.
In an interview with CNN senior media reporter Oliver Darcey published in Monday’s Reliable Sources newsletter, Maddow was asked about her concerns about being personally victimized by the Trump administration if he wins the 2024 presidential election.
“Trump and his allies are openly talking about using the government as a weapon to exact revenge on their critics in the media and in politics, and some of his extremist allies are even talking about jailing fellow Americans,” Darcy said. “You’re one of his most prominent critics on television. Are you worried that you might be targeted?”
Maddow responded: “I worry about the country as a whole if we put in power someone who openly admits that he plans to build camps to house millions of people and ‘eradicate’ what he describes in inhumane terms as his ‘internal enemy.'”
“Again, history helps here. He’s not joking when he says these things, and we’ve seen what happens when people take power proclaiming that kind of agenda.
“I think there’s a bit of complacency in pretending that Trump only intends to target individual people he’s already singled out. Does he really think he plans to stop at known liberals?”
She too sent shock waves through The view In June, with his criticism of the Supreme Court and a call to Chief Justice John Roberts to “save the legal system.”
Maddow was asked about the behavior of Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said she fears Trump will put her in an internment camp if he is re-elected in the upcoming election season.
“When Trump invokes the Insurrection Act to deploy the US military against civilians on his first day in office, do you think he then revokes the order on day two?” Maddow asked in response to Oliver Darcey’s question about how seriously Trump and his allies take retaliation against critics in the media and politics.
Thomas, who has been criticized for failing to disclose gifts from businessman Harlan Crow, has finally acknowledged some of the expensive gifts he accepted from the billionaire amid anger from the left.
Alito angered Democrats after an upside-down American flag was flown at his home following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, which he later claimed was his wife’s decision.
Maddow slammed the pair for being “blatantly corrupt” and demanded that Roberts do something about it, surprising the show’s co-host Sunny Hostin.
“The blatant corruption of a couple of Supreme Court justices is John Roberts’ problem. He is the chief justice and he has to keep an eye on it to save his court and the judicial system,” he said.
Co-host Joy Behar said it was “doubtful” Roberts would perform.
She believed then that if any corruption occurred on the liberal channel MSNBC, the matter would be addressed.
Maddow asked: ‘I work at MSNBC. If I had a member of my family lobbying the White House chief of staff and saying, ‘Let’s overturn this election result,’ do you think they would let me cover that election result, let alone issue a binding court ruling on that election result?’
The host was referring to Thomas’ wife, Ginni, who texted White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows trying to get him to challenge the 2020 election results.
He also argued that the Supreme Court gave Trump effective immunity “because they’ve already delayed things for so long that the things he did in 2020 won’t be judged before he potentially returns to the White House.”
