I Just Think The GOP Believes It CANNOT Be Beaten In Elections.

[TheMastersNemesis]

In their view they now own the process of voting and can make almost impossible to win against them. We have to show them wrong.

[Renew Deal]

1. I agree with their believe that they can't lose

Remember the whole Karl Rove "not lose congress for a generation" BS?

[dhol82]

2. I still say we need to go back to paper ballots

We need a reliable paper trail. Otherwise, the results can be compromised.

3. 35 special election wins to date democrats winning in republican disticts and

the nearly 3 dozen republican congresspeople "retiring" kinda makes the assumption in OP a bit wrong. The republicans know they are toast..but if some think they are invincible they are more of fool than we all think

4. well the Senate map this year is heavily in their favor

And it does practically take an act of God to defeat a House incumbent. Plus they drew most of the districts after the 2010 bloodbath.

I don't think we should be counting any chickens.

5. They have an at least 10 to 20%+ fudge factor built into the voting systems

Time after time we have seen a red shift in voting since they passed HAVA (help America
vote act) even though the demographics and issues favor the other side. The electronic
voting machines and maybe even the central tabulators have had "back doors" built into
them that lend themselves to manipulation of the vote totals.

BTW look @ what the Repugs did after Sandy Hook they passed laws which have made it
easier to get guns even though >80% of Americans wanted stricter gun laws which tells
me they aren't worried about the vote.

6. Russia

They are banking on Russia to screw with our electronic voting.

So we have to beat the spread. Or, cause a blackout in Russia major cities on our Election Day.

7. With Our IC Professionals & Guys Like Tillerson Saying The Russians Will Continue To Interfere....

they have provided cover to Repugs in all the states to cheat and steal the vote in their favor. If the Repugs win - it will be said - because the Russians interfered and they will get away with that.

If the Dems happen to win the election - for sure the Repugs will say it was because of Russian interference and they will call a foul.

The only thing that we Dems could do - and I hope the Parkland Students help this along - is GOTV and make this Nov election historic. It should be the largest voter turnout ever in an election in the U.S. If this happens - it will be hard for the Repugs to steal that many votes to overcome the turnout.

That should be our goal. Make this Nov Midterm historic. Highest voter turnout ever in the U.S.
