10. I believe in dealing with the problem by addressing the items we know to exist

We know that Republicans suppress the vote. We DO NOT KNOW that voting machine integrity is a risk.

Let's remember that people here have been yelling vote hacking since 2004. And then, somehow, we won in 2006, 2008 and 2012.

Hillary Clinton doesn't say vote hacking occurred.

Bernie Sanders doesn't say vote hacking occurred.

The former Ohio Democratic Party Chair (whom I know) doesn't say vote hacking occurred.

The CURRENT Ohio Democratic Party Chair (whom I know) doesn't say vote hacking occurred.

NO losing Candidate in the last 12 years says vote hacking occurred

Dwelling on voting machine hacking is an easy out; it lets us believe that we actually "won", so we don't have to change our message or tactics. That's incredibly dangerous.
