The Transition Integrity Project was a series of June 2020 political scenario exercises in the United States. The exercises examined potential disruptions to the 2020 presidential election and transition. The project was motivated by their assessment that the November elections would be marked by a chaotic legal and political landscape. They also assess that President Trump is likely to contest the result by both legal and extra-legal means, in an attempt to hold onto power.
About Transition Integrity Project in brief
The Transition Integrity Project was a series of June 2020 political scenario exercises in the United States. Over 100 current and former senior government and campaign leaders, academics, journalists, polling experts and former federal and state government officials took part in the exercises. The exercises examined potential disruptions to the 2020 presidential election and transition. TIP is not an organization, but rather a short-term project run under the auspices of the organization Protect Democracy. The project was motivated by their assessment that the November elections would be marked by a chaotic legal and political landscape. They also assess that President Trump is likely to contest the result by both legal and extra-legal means, in an attempt to hold onto power. In August 2020, TIP released a report outlining its findings and recommendations and insisting on the peaceful transfer of power, insisting on acontinuation of the current system of checks and balances in place to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
In September 2020, a federal judge issued an injunction against the recent USPS ruling that Trump and DeJoy were motivated by a politically motivated attack on the efficiency of the Postal Service. This outcome could be especially likely in the event of a so-called ‘Red Mirage’ where Trump appears to have won on election night but actually loses after all of the mail-in ballots have been tallied. Trump has also claimed that Democrats’ efforts to expand the availability of mail- in voting and ballot collection will result in widespread voter fraud. A Washington Post analysis found that officials identified just 372 possible cases of double voting or voting on behalf of deceased people out of about 14. 6 million votes cast by mail in the 2016 and 2018 general elections, or 0. 0025 percent.
