ago when he said he wasn't worried about the 2018 election, but that people needed to vote in the 2020 election?
IMO Putin is not going to mess with our 2018 election at the ballot box --- because that is where everyone will be looking. IMO it will be a calculated energy shut down of our power grid that will interfere with voting and getting election results in 2018 and Trump knows.

And on a more local note, I hope DU has put some safeguards into place. I'll be very discouraged if DU gets hacked on election night 2018 the way it was in 2016. When I saw that, I knew we were in for some serious shit.

(3,784 posts)..........rather than selecting a particular candidate and throwing votes his/her way, what they'll do in 2018 is play on the "blue wave." He says what they'll do is select DEMOCRATS and start throwing absurd numbers of votes their way, like giving certain Democrats thousands more votes than people that live in that district, for example. The goal will be to make the election results look so absurd that the Republicans can then step up and shout, "SEE? We TOLD you the Democrats were the ones rigging elections!!!" and then move to have the results invalidated and any further elections cancelled "until we can figure out what's going on."
