Harry Reid: "They are doing it again and I don't know if we have the tools to stop it."



Sam Stein ✔@samstein

“They are doing it again and I don't know if we have the tools to stop it.”

— Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), in a phone interview that had been scheduled to discuss the impending Nevada Democratic caucus.

Russia Is Helping Elect Trump Again, Intel Official Says
“Republicans went nuts” when an intelligence official told Congress that Russia was siding with Trump in the election—again. Then Trump tapped a political ally as his top spy.

The full quote from Reid:

“Isn’t that absolutely incredible? Predictable but incredible,” former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said in a phone interview that had been scheduled to discuss the impending Nevada Democratic caucus. “They are doing it again and I don't know if we have the tools to stop it.”

We have a vote by mail system in Iregon that works really well.

As far I am concerned, the process is corrupt to begin with. There have been domestic issues with our elections as long as I can remember and Im nearly 60.

You can't take an honest look at our caucus and primaries and say the are all above board, uniform, and run with any competency. It is a joke. We need election reform. Eliminate the electoral college and switch to standard primaries based on the popular vote. Go to vote by mail. No hackable voting machines.

This go around they revamp the process with a 3 tier counting process and an app developed by a company called Shadow with political ties to a political heavy weight who has an axe to grind with the front runner . If something goes wrong in Nevada on Friday it wont be the Russians fault.

have Nancy and the other Dem's in congress and Senate to gold a press conference . Let AOC get in her comments as well as the more out spoken ones. Nancy needs to get on top of this ,even if she has to impeach again. Direct the problem to the complicit repukes and have these news conferences everyday until people hit the streets. I want an uprising every chance they get.this is discouraging. They won the house to be on this. How about doing two impeachments at once. BARR and TRUMP.
