These warnings/cautions posted here about the perils of polls and voting - What's it all for?

I can't imagine that the vast majority of folks here are unfamiliar with the pitfalls of polling, vote suppression, fraud, and media resurrections of fading candidates.

I work hard (outside of the politics practiced and participated in here and elsewhere) and i have little room for worrying about what might go wrong in this election. There's very little most of us can do to head off all of these negative influences in this election and I think the best we can do in this campaign (outside of being as vigilant and responsive as we're able) is to remain optimistic about our chances, and, to project as much of that optimism for folks who may not share our enthusiasm or confidence in our eventual victory.

Most of the efforts I've needed to make in persuading or influencing potential voters have involved apathetic or resistant folks who wouldn't very well bear much of the apprehension and concern expressed here and still manage to motivate themselves to the polls. It takes a very confident and determined advocacy to get new voters to the polls.

I do understand expressing anxiety here over one development or the other; over some potential roadblock. What I don't relate to is the same admonitions presented and promoted here as a caution against the very optimism that motivates me, and, I think, motivates others to let go of their apathy and fears and make that effort to register and show up at the polls on voting day.

I don't think there's a fine line, either. Most of these posts have just left me cold. I wish we could remember and consider who we're trying to appeal to and convince to vote for this Democratic President and try and make as positive an appeal as we're able.

Just my two cents, of course.
