I've found it baffling that the Biden/Harris administration has not even pretended to care about the destruction and death of people by Hurricane Helene.  They should want to look like they care right before an election, even if they don't actually care.  The fact that they have been so nonchalant and have actually been hindering rescue efforts makes me think that they think they have fixed the election. 

 They may have fixed election machines and counters.  They may have an "October Surprise", like another pandemic or war which will allow them to either suspend elections or go to 100% mail-in ballots that can easily be miscounted.  I don't have any evidence , but I've never seen a whole party show such disdain and lack of empathy towards  voters right before an election.

You are likely right that people will finally stand up if there is an obvious fix like 100% mail-in ballots or suspended elections.  

For what it is worth, they did just have a bird flu event just like they had Event 201 right before the covid "pandemic".
