COIN, or counterinsurgency, encompasses military, political, economic, and psychological actions to defeat irregular forces. If JAG and DHS treat this as a COIN operation, it implies a state response to an internal threat, possibly involving military or federal oversight beyond civilian election boards. The establishment narrative typically downplays election fraud as negligible (e.g., CISA’s 2020 claims of secure systems), but an insurgency label would challenge that, suggesting systemic vulnerabilities---like control of blank ballots—that COIN aims to address.
Hypothetical Consequences if Proven
If evidence (e.g., forensic ballot analysis, insider testimony, or JAG findings) confirms this as an insurgency countered by COIN:
Legal and Military Actions
JAG Jurisdiction: JAG’s involvement could mean military courts-martial if active-duty personnel or contractors participated, or support for civilian prosecutions under federal law (e.g., 52 U.S.C. § 10307 for voter intimidation). This would be unprecedented for a U.S. election unless tied to national security (e.g., foreign backing per the DHS report). The establishment might resist this militarization, arguing it oversteps civilian governance, but COIN doctrine prioritizes decisive action against irregular threats.
Insurgent Prosecution: Leaders of the alleged insurgency---party officials or external entities—could face treason charges (18 U.S.C. § 2381), carrying death or life imprisonment, if intent to overthrow democracy is proven. COIN’s focus on dismantling networks might lead to widespread arrests, though evidence of coordination (e.g., the identical down-ticket pattern) would be key.
Election Nullification: Washington courts could invalidate the 2022 primary under RCW 29A.68 if fraud altered the outcome. COIN might justify a federal takeover of the process, overriding state control, though this risks public backlash over sovereignty.
COIN Operational Responses
Security Overhaul: COIN emphasizes winning "hearts and minds" while neutralizing threats. This could mean deploying federal agents to secure baPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
