Republicans Show Strength in Early Voting

56. Exactly. That is what "sitting it out" or waiting for "purity" got us.

But it also reflects the fact that a number of state GOP seats went uncontested for far too long, so all that did was solidify their control, and at the worst possible time - the decennial census.

Fortunately what we have going for us is how extreme the GOP has gotten since 2010, which is finally causing the GOP juggernaut to crumble in some states, resulting in a rise of "independents" willing to vote for Democrats. And now with more Democrats actually CONTESTING seats (thanks to groups like "Indivisible" ), the tide is changing and more pressure will soon be brought to bear at the state level, to begin to make the necessary changes.

If you have enough people coming out to vote - that can often be more than enough to offset the "corrupted machines" because too many obvious "errors" will raise a red flag. Close elections with corrupted machines, not so much.

You have people who watch things happen, people who make things happen, and then those people who wake up and say "What the hell just happened?". Now is the time to get things in place for 2020.
