We have to realize that we need to win even with voting machine discrepancies

It's similar to a visiting sports team getting home cooked by the referees. Right now the GOP is the home team favorite with all their shenanigans. We have to win knowing those shenanigans are at play. That requires an overwhelming DEM turnout to neutralize said GOP shenanigans.

Good point. I cannot understand why we can't get everyone out. In GA, you can vote by mail. A judge Hoyt Jun 2017 #1

I'm telling you, voting machine shenanigans aren't needed in the South or in flyover states. GaYellowDawg Jun 2017 #3

even allowed an extra month to register voters. There's 4 weeks of early voting. You can use just about anything for an ID including utility bills. There's just no excuse, except in very rare circumstances.

Those districts are deep, deep red. Hell, they're so deep red they're infrared.

Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin? Hell yeah, I'd look at voting machines there, but there's no need for that kind of thing in the south. Don't need addled machines when there are that many addled voters.

But you are right about turnout. 40% turnout in GA tonight. I'm not sure we could get great turnout if there was a death sentence for not voting.
