Sorry ... I just needed to get that out of my system. :)

When - and how - will all this shit finally end? What can we do? How will we stop them from stealing another election? :shrug:

1. Me Too. We Start By Taking Back Congress In November.
That is where 90+% of our efforts should be geared towards right now.

We take back Congress, that's a pretty good start.

6. We Arrive There In Enough Numbers, It Will Be Far Too Hard To Hide.
2% give or take they can pull off. I believe it would be exponentially harder with 4-5 and impossible with 8-10. In my opinion, their election fraud schemes only work when the races are competitive enough. We need to do our best to come out in such numbers we render their plans useless.

As a note though, I agree it's a huge problem we need to persistently fight towards erradicating, however we cannot let that issue alone demotivate us or keep us from going full steam ahead towards november, since it is likely we will only get so far with the BBV issue by then.

8. You're right about that
We need to get people out to vote ... in HUGE numbers! I know people who haven't voted in years .... and some have never voted at all. These are the people that the Dems need to focus on. Stop sacrificing Democratic principles in order to pander to the RW and go after the people who never bother to vote because they don't think it matters. At this point in our history, it should be relatively easy to convince them that it DOES matter.

4. Me, too. Oh, me, too.

And you ask an excellent question: How do we keep elections from being stolen? How do we eliminate all forms of election fraud?

7. Eliminating election fraud is pretty simple.
Incarcerate every single Republican politician. I've never heard of a Democratic politician who was even accused of election fraud. But it seems lately like any time a Republican is mentioned, he or she has been implicated in election fraud.

9. LOL!

I know it'll never happen, but just the thought of it brought a smile to my face. :-)

10. Well, I meant something that
can actually be done.

And I'd sorta like for it to be something legal, too. No "guilt by association", for example. And, of course, I'd want the accused politicians to have every benefit of the legal system such as "presumed innocent until proven guilty". Otherwise, what differentiates us from them?
