Levine added that more work needs
to be done to boost voter confidence in
election integrity and to protect election
officials who may be targeted if they are
perceived as contributing to a candi-
date’s loss.
The goal of the rally appears to be an
attempt to change some of the electors’
minds and cause “disruption and
chaos,” according to Angelo Carusone,
president of the left-leaning media
watchdog group Media Matters for
America. He said the rally turnout also
could provide insight into what to ex-
pect from right-wing organizers under
the Biden administration.
“The external goal and ostensibly
sort of purpose of this is to have a show
of force in some meaningful way right
when the electors from the Electoral
College come to D.C. to cast their votes,”
he said. “The internal goal is to just keep
the keep engagement going and to keep
their membership together.”
The permit application estimates up-
ward of 5,000 people will gather on Dec.
11 and 12 in support of Trump, a consid-
erably smaller figure than the tens of
thousands who turned out in November.
Turnout could be much lower than
the previous event in part because it
was not as heavily advertised initially in
right-wing circles, said Jared Holt, a vis-
iting fellow at the Atlantic Council’s
Digital Forensics Research Lab who fo-
cuses on domestic extremism.
“We are seeing this Stop the Steal
movement is already starting to dwindle
at least in its digital footprint and that
appears to be translating to rallies,” he
said.
The pro-Trump gathering likely will
be held at Freedom Plaza, according to
the National Park Service. A permit is
expected to be issued this week that will
include details for the event and the
number of participants.
Several groups including anti-Trump
As many as 5,000 of President Don-
ald Trump’s supporters are expected to
descend on the nation’s capital Satur-
day – just days before Electoral College
votes are cast – to protest alleged voter
fraud in the Nov. 3 presidential election,
an unfounded claim also pushed by
Trump.
Women for America First, a group of
conservative women that organized last
month’s “Stop the Steal” rally in Wash-
ington, filed for another protest permit
from the National Park Service after
their first event, which drew tens of
thousands of people.
Electors from all 50 states and Wash-
ington, D.C., meet in their respective
state capitals Monday to formally cast
votes for president based on the popular
votes in each state. President-elect Joe
Biden won 306 electoral votes and
Trump stands at 232; a presidential
candidate needs 270 of these votes to
win.
Twenty-six states and the District of
Columbia legally mandate electors vote
in accordance with the popular vote, but
“faithless” electors have voted for some-
one other than their candidate. None
have ever affected the outcome of the
election.
The demonstration is a way for
Trump supporters to express their dis-
illusionment and anger over the elec-
tion, said Amy Kremer, chair for Women
for America First, who is traveling to the
nation’s capital as part of a two-week,
cross-country bus tour.
“We want him to continue to stay
strong and fight to expose this voter
fraud and demand transparency and
election integrity,” she said. “The sec-
ond propose is really to support each
other.”
Attorney General William Barr said
last week the Justice Department has
not found evidence of widespread voter
fraud that would change the outcome of
the vote. A national coalition of election
security officials said last month there
was no evidence any voting system was
compromised and described the elec-
tion as “the most secure in American
history.”
“There’s no evidence to support the
contention or the allegation that there’s
been widespread voter fraud in the
2020 presidential election,” said David
Levine, elections integrity fellow at the
nonpartisan Alliance for Securing De-
mocracy. He noted that the majority of
lawsuits the Trump team has filed in
states have failed.
“What I am more concerned about is
that these kinds of events contribute to
a broader mis- or disinformation cam-
paign that undermines voter confidence
in elections and creates fissures in our
democracy,” he said.
organization Refuse Fascism and anti-
fascist group All Out DC have already
announced they will again hold
counterprotests. Refuse Fascism is
planning to rally in Black Lives Matter
plaza.
“We are rallying to stand up against
the regime in power and the fascist mo-
bilization,” she said.
Organizers of the pro-Trump rally ac-
knowledged the potential for counter-
protests on their permit application,
specifically mentioning Black Lives
Matter and Antifa.
“Obviously we’ve seen that anyone
anti trump will attack us,” Cindy Cha-
fian of Women for America First wrote
in the application. “We will make sure to
have a plan in place to ensure the safety
of attendees.”
At the mid-November rally, skirmish-
es between protesters and counterprot-
esters broke out across the city. At least
20 people were arrested on a variety of
charges, including assault and weapons
possession, The Associated Press re-
ported. One stabbing was reported, two
police officers were injured and several
firearms were also recovered by police.
Kristen Metzger, a spokesperson for
the D.C. police, confirmed police will be
present at the demonstration and a traf-
fic advisory with road closures will be
released ahead of the event.
Carusone said several chapters of the
Proud Boys, a far-right extremist group
known for inciting violence, are not only
planning to attend as they have before
but said counterprotesters need to be
aware that Proud Boys seek to antago-
nize counter demonstrators to create a
“pretext for self-defense.”
“Likelihood for violence is actually
more acute than it was last time largely
because of who’s really organizing it,”
Carusone said.

The stalemate in stimulus negotia-
tions continued Wednesday as Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-
Ky., attacked top Democrats’ rejection of
the latest White House offer, while
Democrats staked their hopes on a bi-
partisan group of nine senators negoti-
ating a $908 billion proposal.
On Tuesday, McConnell had offered
to drop one of Republicans’ largest pri-
orities in negotiations – liability protec-
tions for businesses – if Democrats
dropped one of their priorities – aid for
state and local governments.
Those sticking points could be re-
solved in another relief bill at the begin-
ning of next year, he said.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-
Calif., rejected McConnell’s approach,
urging him to work with the bipartisan
group instead and accusing him of “ob-
struction.”
Adding to the scramble to get a bill
done before Congress leaves for Christ-
mas, the White House and Treasury
Secretary Steve Mnuchin made their
own $916 billion proposal Tuesday eve-
ning, an approach Democrats mostly re-
jected because of the small amount it
provided for unemployment funds.
“In a bizarre and schizophrenic press
release, the speaker and the leader said
the administration was obstructing ne-
gotiations by negotiating,” McConnell
said.
“Two more brush-offs in about two
hours. More deflection, more delay, and
more suffering for innocent Americans.”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck
Schumer, D-N. Y ., told reporters
Wednesday, “Cutting unemployment to
the extent he has … it’s not going to get
much support among any Democrats.”
Schumer said bipartisan negotiations
were the “way to go.”
Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, working
on the compromise proposal, told re-
porters the group was still “trying to fi-
nalize the language.”
Biden introduces Defense pick
In officially introducing Lloyd Austin
as his nominee to become secretary of
the Defense Department, President-
elect Joe Biden sought Wednesday to
tamp down criticism of picking a re-
tired, four-star Army general as the ci-
vilian leader of the armed forces.
“He is the right person for this job, at
the right moment leading the Depart-
ment of Defense at this moment in our
nation’s history,” Biden said.
“Through sheer determination and
and extraordinary skill, He’s been
breaking down barriers and blazing a
trail forward in this nation for more than
40 years.”
Biden said Austin led the reduction in
troops from Iraq, which represented the
biggest logistical challenge to the de-
partment in 60 years. One night while
meeting at the ambassador’s house in
Baghdad, Biden said, insurgents
launched a rocket attack.
“Of course, for Gen. Austin, it was
just another day at the office,” Biden
said. “He’s cool under fire, inspiring the
same in all those around him.”
If confirmed, Austin would be the
first African American to head the Pen-
tagon. People of color represent about
30% of military personnel, which Biden
said should be better reflected in leader-
ship.
“It’s long past the time that the de-
partment’s leadership reflects that di-
versity,” Biden said.
Austin thanked Biden for the honor
of building upon the history of African
Americans in the military, from Buffalo
soldiers to the Tuskegee Airmen to Colin
Powell, a former general and secretary
of state. “Many people have paved the
way for me,” Austin said.
Before Austin can be confirmed, Con-
gress must grant a waiver from a law
that requires active-duty military per-
sonnel to wait at least seven years be-
fore they can become defense secretary.
HUD, Agriculture choices named
Biden and Vice President-elect Ka-
mala Harris will choose Rep. Marcia
Fudge as their nominee for secretary of
Housing and Urban Development, and
Tom Vilsack for secretary of Agricul-
ture.
Fudge is an Ohio Democrat repre-
senting the Cleveland area. She would
be the second Black woman to lead
HUD, which focuses on federal policy
surrounding housing. Vilsack would re-
turn to the position he held for eight
years during the Obama administration.
He also served two terms as Iowa’s gov-
ernor.
High court spurns election suit
The Supreme Court refused Tuesday
to stop Pennsylvania from finalizing Bi-
den’s victory in the state despite allega-
tions from allies of President Donald
Trump that the expansion of mail-in
voting was illegal.
The action by the high court, which
includes three justices named by
Trump, came as states across the coun-
try are locking in the results that will
lead to next week’s Electoral College
vote. It represented the latest in a string
of stinging judicial opinions that have
left the president defeated politically
and legally.
By their one-sentence denial, the jus-
tices left intact a ruling by the Pennsyl-
vania Supreme Court, which said the
challenge to a state law passed in 2019
came far too late. New Associate Justice
Amy Coney Barrett appeared to have
participated in the case; no dissents or
recusals were noted.
