What is being done to safeguard the 2018 Mid-terms?

Are the Republicans are not sweating over the Russia scandal because they don't fear the majority? Are they not sweating because they already know the election is in the bag?

I find this very troubling.

But I suspect that after they are blown away in the midterms, they will claim russia hacked the vote.

should be stepping up to the plate to reassure the public about the 2018 election.

There should be an overhaul of all voting machines that can be hacked.

I think that's why they are so damned smug right now. It's almost as if they know they have nothing to fear. Of course, this only means that we turn out in larger numbers than they expect and make it impossible for them. I'm looking at it as we need to have at least three votes to have one count. Something like that anyway - it makes sense in my head.

Pompeo is the guy that should be doing something to protect the election and our country. Instead he's meeting with a Russian spy that trump let into the country.
