why should we give a damn about subsequent elections. If we have enough reasons to suspect that the recent election was hacked, and we turn a blind eye to it and we don't do anything about it NOW, I why should I give a damn about 2020?

If this was the GOP with the amount of evidence we have about Russian hacking and possibly the GOP, why should we believe that 2020 will be any different even with the suggested changes made. Future hackings would just have to take into consideration the recent changes made to the current systems, should those changes even be made. And why should those Red States who were likely hacked make changes to a system where they don't acknowledge a problem exists, if we aren't willing to fight this out RIGHT NOW? My husband has worked with the DNC for the past three elections. I couldn't in past years because I was a federal employee and working while he was retired. But knowing how hard those people worked in our area to get Hillary, why should people want to work for a cause that isn't willing to fight for themselves. There is plenty of evidence that some type of fraud was perpetrated as evidenced by the evidence presented in this OP as well as others I've read here, and elsewhere. The GOP would not have accepted this theft, and yet there are people here that call those of use who even bring up the possibility of the theft, are labeled as conspiracy nutjobs. I assure you I am not a conspiracy nutjob. But it drives me crazy that the Democratic Party never seems willing to fight for itself and is so quick to roll over like lapdogs when so much is at stake. Yet the GOP will fight to their last breath when they have nothing to stand on and then they'll just make up shit or disregard the law or the Constitution. Exhibit A, failure to appoint a SCOTUS Justice in an election year. You can be damn sure, had the roles been reversed, that seat would have been filled.
