WOW - Historic night

1. Party with President having high disapproval numbers
2. What appears to be increased youth turnout
3. Huge turnout for a mid term
4. Polls had broken for challenging party

Yet somehow all the Republicans seem to be over performing.

Go figure.

I have little doubt that massive thievery is occurring in GA and FL. Won't surprise me if it's also the case for Tennessee and a few others.

The one bright light is now ex-Felons have just as much right in Florida to have their vote not count as I do

2016 was stolen. 2018 will be stolen. Show elections in 2020 (if that's not what we already have).

We desperately need to upgrade our voting systems and rules. Our democracy won’t survive if we don’t.

families. I bet we find white women are still voting strongly for white wing racist candidates.

And, trump may have a seemingly large disapproval rating, but even many of those those that disapprove -- because he hasn't bombed the "caravan," locked up Clinton, deported millions of Hispanics and Black Lives Matter supporters -- would vote for him again.

It's really disappointing.

We never will. If we know voter rolls were compromised. If we know Russians have software in our electrical grids, why should we assume voting machines and tabulators aren't manipulatable?
