What kind of chicanery will we be facing in November?

We know the Republican Party, in cahoots with Vlad Putin, attacked our 2016 elections from multiple fronts.

We know nothing has been done in the meantime to even attempt to stem future attacks. In fact, the Russians here and abroad may have even upped their game. Their techniques may be more sophisticated and perhaps less obvious.

If the new polls are to be believed, the Dems are opening quite a margin against the GOP across the board. We are all cautiously optimistic. We expected that type of result two years ago, though. The micro-targeting of voters in vital areas of 3 swing states, in conjunction with Comey's disastrous announcement and media complicity, were only part of the reason the expected results did not come to fruition.

With voting day a little over 54 days away, what should we be looking for? What new tricks do you expect the national crime syndicate a/k/a the Republican party will unleash on us? I'm a firm believer in GOTV, and have been rallying whomever I can to do the same. But at the same time, in parallel, what can we do, what can we warn others of, in order to mitigate the damage that we know will be coming?
