A lot of what needs to be done is making sure that the Harris win is large enough that you can't easily claim that a handful of ballots should be tossed and change the outcome. That means:

Check your voter registration — part of the Republican strategy has long been invalidating registrations so people can't vote
Volunteer — nothing in the world quite like talking to people.
Donate — money is used for everything from ads to voter turnout operations
Organize; be prepared to turn out with others in your community to actively object to any effort to ignore your votes

If you think your county or state won't certify election results, make sure to call them and tell them exactly how you feel about it.

This is why you should track your local fascists! Check out https://magatmap.com and help out!

EDIT - I'm curious why the down voting.

Lol the maga map could use the same format as the Christian surveillance app that they use to harass people..

No surprise for most of us here. The big surprise for the enablers would be when the leopards eat their faces.

So we setup police on certification day to arrest anyone working the polls who breaks the laws concerning transition of power.

Simple as.

At the very least, begin relocating or developing redundancies to federal agencies located in states likely to do so, specially Texas which has been made the host of too many key international federal agencies.

This is actually fine. Let them do it. They won't change anything, but they will look silly and the entire world will see it.
