Ben Ginsberg, a Republican attorney who served as national council for presidential campaigns in 2000 and 2004 for George W. Bush and in 2008 and 2012 for Mitt Romney, said recent attempts to block election certifications look like a test run for November, but without a coordinated strategy in place to plan that.

Coordinated or not, the issue "is now on a lot of radar screens, as it wasn't before," Ginsberg told me. He said voters need to pay more attention to the potential for election officials to "abuse" the process.

"If anyone tries to abuse the certification process, people should be worried about their votes not being counted accurately," Ginsberg said. "If somebody tries to overturn the results of an election by holding up a certification, that disenfranchises all voters across the board."
