Based on a couple of posts on this primary elections where voters who have voted for decades were denied a ballot, I see another voter surprise that we must thwart. In GOP controlled states particularly valid Democratic voters will be scrubbed from the rolls without their knowledge. I fear election fraud on a scale so massive it will make ones head spin.
We already see signs in Colorado that our Secretary of State wants to scrub the rolls of Democrats who have not voted recently. We beat back an attempt to NOT send mail in ballots to thousands of mostly Democratic voters in the last election.
I hope that Democrats take these attempts seriously. The GOP will steal this election every way that they can. They are the enemy of the country and only embrace dictatorship of the GOP.

(10,602 posts)I do believe that what I have said here may very well swing this election to the GOP. They already have laws on the books that will stop 5,000,000 voters from casting a ballot. And there are so many other ways they can take this election.
I live in Colorado and remember the last Bush election. In Denver there were long waits to vote because there were not enough machines in one Democratic area. And I know one poll watcher who saw the GOP flip a precinct and was told to keep quiet.
The problem is that the issue will arise right on election day.

(1,453 posts)A lot of people here said they didn't think there would be, but a lot
of people were thinking TP. I think it's going to be the disenfranchised.
If someone told me I couldn't cast a vote because I didn't have "papers, please,"
for the first time in my life, I would likely go ballistic.
I think there are going to be some ugly moments.
Just one woman's opinion.

(10,602 posts)I think this election is going to be a very dangerous election. The GOP plans to win by stealing what they cannot honestly compete on honestly. We are dealing with a bunch of dangerous psychopaths. They simply will push people around. Republicans that I am around have the idea that anyone who does not go along with will have to shut up or they will shut you up.
I personally get a lot of hostility where I play golf. It did not use to be that way, but I hear racist bigoted chatter at the public golf course that I have played since 1976. The hostility is so palpable that there are groups I cannot play golf with. And I have been challenged for my politics in very rude ways. There are only a handful of Democrats as far as I know.
I am convinced they will have their little brownshirts out on election day. My sense is that they feel they have won already. I know a lot of Du'ers disagree with me. And I hope they are right. My gut feeling is that there is a lot of trouble on the way.
I personally feel like I am living in the middle of an insane asylum right now. Women need to be particularly alarmed because so much legislation is being passed. And Virginia rape law has just been signed.
And correct me if I am wrong. But these legislators are acting with a smile and a smirk towards women and are saying the F word in the process. In my opinion they have officially declared war on the country and women in particular.
