Julian Zelizer : We treat democracy like clean water, something that just comes out of the tap, something we exert no effort to procure.

Zelizer says we can be absolutely certain that an attempt will be made to steal the 2024 election if Kamala Harris wins.

He says the challenges will multiply if the presidential vote is as close as polls suggest it could be.

LZ Granderson: Don’t wait until the day after the vote to find groups you trust.

LZ: Join groups that will be active in the days before the election, and on the day itself.

He says it's also possible to work for one of the many get-out-the-vote campaigns. Consider driving people to the voting booth.

Don’t dismiss concerns about voter fraud out of hand, says Julian Zelizer .

Protest remains a last resort, Zelizer says, but it’s better to protest in a group, and in a coordinated, nonviolent manner.

Zelizer: Emphasize the strength of the U.S. people, our ability to stand up to those who assault democracy.
