What’s the threat from election deniers manning the election offices in swing states so they can not certify the election if Trump loses?

Is this possible?

Can’t President Biden send in Federal Marshals to oversee this. After all he has immunity.

Haha. There are real threats to be sure. But the public mood has changed. In Georgia, for example, county officials can challenge results. But, it's going to be harder to do given public pressure, so it probably won't stand up, not even there. If I'm right and the country has lost patience with Trump-esque shenanigans, attempts to rig the elections will fail.

Wellll, that's just my opinion, of course, but the public mood is a lot more powerful than most people realize. Trump capitalized on it in 2016, got bitten by it in 2020, and will likely get bitten even more this time.
