As Halloween approaches, American voters are haunted by the spectre of election disruption in the upcoming 2024 US presidential race. The fear looms large that the outcome may not be decided on election day, but rather in a messy court battle later on.
This scenario has played out before, notably in the controversial 2000 election where the Supreme Court ultimately declared George Bush the winner over Al Gore. The peaceful transfer of power tradition was respected as Gore conceded, unlike the recent election where Donald Trump refused to accept the results.
Since then, there has been widespread distrust in the electoral process, with lawsuits, claims of election fraud, and court battles adding to the chaos. The upcoming election is marred by uncertainty, foreign interference, disinformation, and voter suppression efforts.
The American public is deeply divided, and the integrity of the electoral process is in question. The upcoming election is likely to be decided in a few key precincts, with legal challenges and conspiracy theories looming large over the outcome.
