Okay, I am hesitant to post this. (Because I may be FOS) But let us look at the lead up to 2020.

We already know that voter suppression is real and it is at least sophisticated enough to affect certain states and precincts.

I wonder what the cumulative effect would be if certain heavily Dem voting precincts in swing states especially were shut down by bombs or bomb threats.

In states that are controlled bt Repubs would they allow delays and recounts? All states are different.

But nothing is going to shut down elections.

The MagaBomber thing is just now starting to sink in with sane Americans. The more the vote is threatened the harder Americans will fight back.

2016 was an exercise in apathy. Not happening now.

That said, and my post prove it, I am not sanguine about this election. It will be close. But trying to scare Americans from the polls is the best way to get them to vote.

I apologize for my disrespectful one word reply to your post. Not my normal style. But nothing is normal now. And typing on an IPhone sucks!

Have a nice evening.

In my view the situation is murky, depending on the voting regs in individual states. I hope you are correct.
