Even though Putin may not get the sanction relief he was angling for..

He sure as hell knows now how EASY it is to game our system.

In advance of 2018; we must immediately harden any and all electronic election equipment. Where feasible, a standard "people counted, paper ballot" system should be instituted. The media insistence on getting everything "immediately" must be tempered, by statute, if necessary.

We are under attack. The next assault will be brutal and we must be ready to defend ourselves, and the system we claim to uphold.

Anyone here think I'm hyperventilating? Anyone here think I'm clad in tin-foil?

If I consent to being a "weepy unicorn", I have given up. I have not given up.

credentials, have solid democratic candidates challenging EVERY elected office and get the f*ck off our asses and VOTE. Stop all the internal squabbles over any litmus test for our candidates. We are a big tent party that welcomes ALL political views and inputs.

Even though I agree with you 100% that the adverse affect of the extreme gerrymandering rampant all across the country makes facilitating the participation a HUGE issue..

the most basic line here is that America (and ALL Americans, left, right and center; smart and dumb as a sack of rocks) is under attack by a foreign power and we have barely lifted a finger to respond.
