Not outside the realm of possible, but why do that if you can achieve the same goal in subtler ways? 2000 was a “close call” because 10s of thousands of people in primarily-black communities in florida had their voting infra degraded to the point of uselessness. Voting infra is a proven strategy to tip the scales towards the kleptocrats
Why does the mob burn down restaurants? To send a message. They know they’re above the law. And if they pull this off, they’re invincible.
