11. Neville - This is the important post on this site today, dealing with the most important issue.....

.....coming out of the midterm elections. The right started with gerrymandering to their advantage years ago, turned it into a high art form, now goes after mail-in ballots, ballot drop boxes, voting hours, voter registration, the post office, Secretaries of State, election officials, poll workers, voting machines, dropping off someone else's ballot and anything else they can think of to limit the number of ballots and votes the majority party can have. Now they go after the polls, trying to pervert the national discussion prior to the election, again in an attempt to limit how many people show up at the polls. They know that they don't have the numbers to compete fairly. All they got is cheating and low information voters.
