I believe the future of our country is riding on this election. The signs are very positive for a Dem sweep, but I cant help worrying about what expert cheaters the Repukes are. Talk me down, or not. I know it is dangerous to have high expectations.

I doubt I'll have any fingernails left Tuesday night and I haven't bitten my nails since I was in grade school!

(23,366 posts)I've already informed my family that I am off duty once I'm home from work so I can pay attention to returns. The recollection of election night 2016 is still raw in my mind. My hopes are very high this year...higher than in 2016. My guess is we'll have some big wins and some tough losses as well. I really wish that MSNBC would not give Steve Kornacki a spotlight but that's probably too much to ask for. He makes me nuts. It'll already be a nutzo night.

(7,888 posts)prepare for the worst" Not words of comfort, I share your anxiety. All I can do is support all efforts to replace the "R's" with decent "D's".
I stay busy most days pondering ways to register more Democrats and inspire them to get off the couch and complete a vote by mail ballot.

(7,768 posts)Then maybe younger people would turn the fuck out and cast a ballot!
25% turnout is BULLSHIT.
FUCK!!

Wine, or other spirits will help when the results start coming in.

(1,975 posts)Everyone should keep a close eye on these elections! Sure we should keep an eye on the elections as a whole, but keep an eye on each individual primary. I dont wanna sound like the guy behind the grassy knoll, however it doesnt take thousands of votes to be changed to turn an election. Each state is different and sometimes it would only take 100 votes changed, lost, not counted, misplaced, etc. to steal an election.
Everyone that has a vested interest should volunteer in some capacity in the election process. It is blatantly obvious that the people who are in Trumps cult of personality, have no integrity and need to be watched like hawks!
