The numbers game.

I'm going to bring up something that makes me both pissed off and scared at the same time.

I dunno how we can keep the vote honest when the voting machines are run with propiratry software and the company that made the machines and the software ,diabold,is owned by republicans.

People forget this fact.

Add in the insane gerrymandering,
the corruption that every electorate in the electorial college is a rich business type. Add in voter roll purges,Putin's help, Maybe the supreme Court stepping in taking away the real vote from the people like what happened with bush and Gore.

That among all the other bullshit repugnants do combined . Lying cheating,bribing and threatening
people.. We have found votes found in dumpsters during the election. And the real ID act..The rethugs will do anything to skew every vote possible to themselves.

I fear I dunno if we can keep it honest,really. If so how? There is no papertrails with the electronic voting.

I really hope we find a way. Something better than holding on to the numbers game as if a landslide will be allowed to happen.. Because that number game we hang out hopes on can get screwed with so easy. And this makes me furious and scared.

I'm talking people about the same old game
Their running them numbers and the winners never change
The dice is loaded, the deck is stacked
The game itself will hold you back
Check out your mind and don't be blind
To the numbers game
What I say
Don't be in the dark all by yourself
Don't play the hand that the dealer has dealt
We're cashing out 'cause it's time to sell
Taking back the power, gonna share that wealth
Come on now
Check out your mind and don't be blind
To the numbers game
What I say
I'm talking people about respect
Baby you can't win when you place that bet, come on now
The dice is loaded, the deck is stacked
The game itself will surely hold you back
Check out your mind and don't be blind
To the numbers game
Check out your mind and don't be blind
To the numbers game
Let's get hip on this
So you won't slip on this
See you gotta get hip on this
So you won't trip on this
To the numbers
To the numbers game
Check out your mind and don't be blind

I just wanted to say my thoughts.
Does nothing to keep me from voting. To me the more Dems vote and get involved with polling place s the better. We need all hands on deck! Because the vote could be tampered with. We have to be there to vote and to protect the vote.
