24. It's a problem

This is bad for Democracy, that 25% of the country no longer believes in our elections.

Republicans are gambling that they can make their sole platform plank out of this distrust of the elections. They think it's a winner or they wouldn't be doing it. However, I think Dems can find a way to make them pay for this by depressing their votes. Dems need to use this, "it's a rigged system" so why should Reps vote?

I know Dems wouldn't do this, but an army of internet trolls invading all of the Conservative message boards and social media with one simple message would be incredibly effective. The message, "I'm not voting and neither should you, because it's all a rigged system." You could depress Republican turnout significantly with just a 100 person or so troll farm working for the next 18 months. It would be immoral and unethical, but it would be deadly effective.
