GOP Not Worried 2018 Is Election Already Fixed. Also Will Pass Laws To Make Protesters Felons.

Last edited Fri Feb 10, 2017, 01:20 PM - Edit history (1)

I think the GOP is really not worried.. They have the power. Because they were able to rig 2016 permanently fixing future elections is in the bad. Why do you think they are so unmoving.

They have two more years to double down of voter suppression, even more severe voter ID, and will get billions more dollars from the billionaires. And they still have the entire hate radio machine.

By then unions will be crushed, secretary of states will have all the fixed voting machines. And there will be no voting places where they might lose. Plus voting hours will be very short.

Amid Russia’s election hacking, House Republicans vote to terminate voting security agency

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/02/amid-russias-election-hacking-house-republicans-vote-to-terminate-voting-security-agency/

That, combined with the new Attorney General's record of voter suppression, I think that we need to get better hackers.

Let both sides hack the elections so that FINALLY attention be given to the bad business of Black Box Voting.

We have a lawless Congress now on the GOP side. There is little the Democrats can do.

When they want a real revolution, they will start to begin to think about all this bullshit.

Thee are other ways to recover power.

There's no other way our democracy can be spared - or rather reinstated. We need a huge lawsuit filed by someone with assured standing - with a long parade of expert testimony. There's evidence all over the place.
