A Look at How Electoral Chaos Could Divide The United States

With President Donald Trump floating the idea of delaying the election, Democracy Now! speaks with Nils Gilman, historian, and co-founder of the Transition Integrity Project, which organized a bipartisan group of experts to game out what a contested November election might look like.

"In every scenario except for the one where Biden won in a landslide, we ended up with severe electoral contestation, protests in the streets, crazy stories happening on social media, and the challenges went down to Inauguration Day," Gilman says.
