(51,635 posts)I am also concerned with a Rohrabacher's Dem primary opponent who lost by about 125 votes. Something is very wrong with our voting systems...I think we will be hacked big time and the GOP is complicit obviously.

(7,921 posts)In GA they're trying to justify closing most of the voting stations in one majority-black district by claiming they aren't accessible under the ADA [link:https://www.democraticunderground.com/100211014299| even though the same locations have been used for many previous elections.
They are striping Democrat voter registrations wherever they can get away with it along with seniors and those of any minority voting block who might be expected to vote Dem. They are trying to reduce the hours during which voting takes place while reducing the period and locations available for early voting. In many GOP run states the voting count is crooked on a number of levels far beyond what hacking the voting stations would achieve.
What this means to America is that the GOP has gone completely Rogue and is going to do anything and likely everything to win. Yes, we all need to turn up and vote, and make sure everyone you know does the same. But we will need so much more than the numbers to win Congress back.

(51,635 posts)I read the post about the voting being controlled in GA too and was thinking about him. He said that Dems need a 12 point advantage in the polls to counteract all the gerrymandering, voting restrictions, etc by the GOP/Russia currently (that is his opinion but it sounds about right to me).

(6,831 posts)Rick Scott (aka The Cadaver) to prove this claim. He got ugly on Nelson, too.
Scott is aiming for Nelson's senate seat this November . . .
Well, Ricky, you can google this just like we can.
And Florida voters -- when it comes time to vote, remember WHO the better man is in this fight.
