We may find that there will be well financed attempts to invalidate many of the votes that are cast, and to prevent many people from being able to cast their ballots in the first place. Look at Portland OR to view a dress rehearsal. And I very much fear that we will find that the Supreme Court IS packed on the subject of voting rights, removal of, acceptable according to them.
It’s going to be a very interesting time, not even counting Covid-19.
But Trump says if he doesn’t win then he may not leave the White House. Can we transfer him to the “BIG HOUSE” ? It’s in a gated community, you have people serving you three squares a day and dry bed. You have a lot of new ‘pen pals’.
There is no one to enforce Federal Election Laws and we know how Trump feels about regulations… by now Putin and the GRU know how to mess with every voting machine in every swing state…. it’s not who votes, it’s who hacks the voting machines…
Voting may not help, what with the pandemic of voter suppression and Stalinist vote counting by corporate-controlled, secretly programmed voting machines and tabulators. By all means, vote, but something far more radical may be necessary. Or will everyone just sit back and say “Oh, well” when the results so flagrantly run counter to all the polling and, especially, exit polls?
If Trump can find a way to keep protests going in blue states until the election, he can declare martial law and close polling places in the interest of public safety. Look up the term “hybrid war” and you’ll learn that Trump is taking a page from Putin’s playbook.
The problem is all the middle aged and elderly people who run the polling stations who won’t be able to run the polling stations on November 3, 2020. They are the vulnerable members of society! Polling stations will be closed, so people won’t know where to go. The title 1 school where I taught for 20 years is a polling station, and many of the voters walk there, and would not have transportation to another location!!! Those are the first stations that will be closed… MARK MY WORDS!

I’m expecting Trump’s flying monkeys to show up and block polling places in Democratic precincts. At least at those he couldn’t shut down.

Voting BLUE is the most crucial act any of us adults can perform this year. It’s do or die!

It can’t happen soon enough. The tRumpublicans are already thinking of the next Supreme Court judge.

If your state allows it, sign up to vote by mail. Vote early so they can’t deny your vote because it got to the polling too late. Vote blue.

Don’t mourn, VOTE!
Don’t riot, VOTE!
Don’t burn, VOTE!
Don’t loot, VOTE!
Don’t give up, VOTE!
Don’t curl up in a little ball whimpering, VOTE!

In the face of what is happening on the border, in Portland and probably other cities, voting feels like such a weak response.
