MSNBC star Rachel Maddow shares dystopian vision of how she fears election night could destroy American democracy

MSNBC anchor and liberal star Rachel Maddow is worried that Trump-allied election boards could be used as sleeper cells to cancel out a Democrat election victory in November.

Maddow, an icon to blue America, has made increasingly outrageous claims over the 2024 election, including that a re-elected Trump would put her in an internment camp.

In an opinion piece published by the New York Times Monday titled 'What Worries Me Most About Election Night', the longtime commentator says she believes the RNC has put the people in place to pull off an election heist this year.

'Since Donald Trump and Ronna McDaniel, the then-chair 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 eager allies', Maddow writes.

The anchor specifically references the state of Georgia, where Trump's efforts to seek out new votes had him accused of election interference. 

Oral arguments were expected to be held in October in the Georgia case, already likely pushing it off until after November, before another halt was placed on the trial.

Maddow argues that new laws put in place by the state's election board gives each county in Georgia the right to delay or flat out refuse certifying results to make a 'reasonable inquiry', leaving it vague as to what counts as one.

She then lays out her nightmare scenario, where the Democrats win Nevada, Wisconin and Michigan, while Republicans take Arizona and Pennsylvania and the entire election hinges on Georgia's result.

Then, Maddow argues, the 'reasonable inquiry' into the results in the Peach State could begin.

'A cleareyed look at Republicans’ handling of the administration of elections since Mr. Trump’s effort to overthrow the last election should prepare us: Refusals to certify results should not necessarily be seen as indicating real electoral problems; they are more likely part of a bad-faith strategy to mess with the democratic process,' she claimed.

She ended by encouraging voters to get to know who works on their election boards and apply public pressure to make them certify election results, but leaves with a warning.

'No one should be surprised when certification refusals happen or when they are then exploited to try to maximize chaos and upset.' 

Maddow, a well-known advocate against Trumps's presidential campaign, said back in August that she fears Trump would become 'president for life,' in other words a dictator, if he clenches a second term in the White House.

Earlier this year, Maddow said she even fears that Trump will put her in an internment camp in the event he is reelected this upcoming election 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 is to be winner of the 2024 presidential election.

'Trump and his allies are openly talking about weaponizing the government to seek revenge against critics in media and politics, with some of his extremist allies even talking about jailing their fellow Americans,' said Darcy. 'You're one of his most notable critics on television. Are you worried that you could be a target?'

Maddow replied: 'I'm worried about the country broadly if we put someone in power who is openly avowing that he plans to build camps to hold millions of people, and to 'root out' what he's described in subhuman terms as his 'enemy from within.' 

'Again, history is helpful here. He's not joking when he says this stuff, and we've seen what happens when people take power proclaiming that kind of agenda.'

'I think there's a little bit of head-in-the-sand complacency that Trump only intends to go after individual people he has already singled out. Do you really think he plans to stop at well-known liberals?

She also sent shockwaves through The View in June with her criticism of the Supreme Court and a call on Chief Justice John Roberts to 'save the legal system.'  

Maddow was asked about the behavior of Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.

Thomas, who has come under criticism for failing to disclose gifts from businessman Harlan Crow, finally acknowledged some of the pricey gifts he accepted from the billionaire amid left-wing rage.

Alito angered Democrats after an upside down American flag was flown at his home after the Capitol riot on January 6, which he later claimed was his wife's decision. 

Maddow called both out for being 'flagrantly corrupt' and demanded that Roberts do something about it, surprising show co-host Sunny Hostin.

'The blatant corruption of a couple of these Supreme Court justices is John Roberts' problem. He is the chief justice, he has to police it to save his court and to save the legal system,' she said. 

Co-host Joy Behar said it was 'iffy' that Roberts would act. 

She then believed that if corruption were to occur at liberal MSNBC, it would be dealt with.

Maddow asked: 'I work at MSNBC. If there was a member of my family lobbying the White House chief of staff, saying, 'overturn this election result,' you think they'd let me cover that election result, let alone give a binding judicial 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 results of the 2020 election. 

She also argued that the Supreme Court gave Trump effective immunity 'because they've already delayed things so long that the stuff that he did in 2020, he's not going to be tried for before he potentially gets back in the White House.'
