#PBS just came out with a good attempt at simulating the complicated scenarios that might unfold in the 2024 election. Participants include Kris Kobach, the guy #WeirdDonOLD hired to find evidence of fraud in the 2016 election, and Mick Mulvaney, who asked the media to “get over” #Trump’s attempts to get #Ukraine to make up dirt about #Biden.
The real surprise for me was that #CorporateMedia came off worse than Kobach and Mulvaney!
Astead Herndon of #NYTimes demonstrated how corporate #media will passionately do what is good for their ratings and profits even if that means enabling a candidate to steal a presidential #election. In a hypothetical scenario where a state legislature throws out legally cast votes in a county to switch the winner, Kobach and Mulvaney said they wouldn’t go along with that scheme. Asked a hypothetical about publishing a story that might ensure the plot succeeds, Herndon didn’t hesitate.
@volkris This is the point that Kobach and Mulvaney clarified with the moderator, that the judge's order extending voting county-wide had been appealed up to the state supreme court and upheld. That's why they both refused to go along with the legislature's attempt to throw out those votes.
