I am not meaning this as a doom and gloom, at all...surely by now we understand these criminals wont go away AT ALL willingly, so to avoid an actual shooting war with us they will steal the election.
If they can...
Anyway they can...
Using any OUTSIDE force they can...
Joe Biden's job is to campaign and get votes, but OUR job, the heads of the DNC must be thinking about this????
Anybody here high up enough in the system to know?

While votes COULD get changed, it is more likely too many people won't vote in November -- for whatever reason they can dream up -- or protest because their Dem candidate didn't get chosen, just like 2016.

Voting by mail will be slower, and that will mean that in many areas, the media will not be able to instantly announce a winner. Critical will be having poll watchers and possibly legal observers in literally every area of every state.

(38,601 posts)...in-person voting, all while folks are waiting in long lines cuz its yet another way to put people through the wringer.
Will that be a*thing* or will people feel empowered to film it, report it, ignore it?
