If the cheating happens again, a huge fear of mine will be realized. What can be done at this point to prevent finagling of the election results? What will we do if my fear comes true?

1. Frankly, at the this late date, I doubt that there is anything that can be done
The only real question remains, since this is going to be election theft on such a grand scale, is whether the American public will wake up and smell the coffee. Previous thefts were strategic, limited to generally one state and a handful of other precincts. However with so many 'Pugs looking to go down in flames, it is going to require that the theft take place on a large, multi-state basis. Therefore, we're going to be treated to the spectre of watching as 'Pugs retain control of both branches of Congress, despite all of the media and exit polling indicating large Democratic majorities and turn-out. Even the media pundits are virtually unanimous in their predictions of a sweeping Democratic win, though they'll do their best to spin the mess when we wake up Wed. with the 'Pugs still in power.

Therefore, the question becomes will the American public, presented with evidence of blantant election theft on a broad scale, actually call the 'Pugs and responsible on this theft and demand justice? Or will they be lulled to sleep by the soothing sounds of Fox news steadily spinning how X Dem mistakes allowed for a sudden, unexpected 'Pug victory?

I'm a cynical bastard, I'm predicting the latter scenario. Hope I'm wrong.

2. Unfortunately, your logic seems to predict a probable outcome.
