Will Republicans be able to steal the 2020 election?

Indybay, 10-18-2018

" How Republicans Steal Elections "

" Republicans represent less than 1/4 of the voter registrations in the US. Democrats have the most, followed by Independents. The plutocracy Republican party has a variety of ways it cheats. Greg Palast has filed federal lawsuits in October against the 3 Secretaries of State (Kemp in Georgia, Husted in Ohio, Kobach in Kansas) who are both umpires and players, supervising their own elections. "

Will Republicans be able to steal the 2020 election?

"...when they low, we go high..." is not a problem for Republicans.

IMO, the Mueller distraction has already helped the Russians and the Republicans muddy the waters through inaction for what's to come in 2020. The partisan political season is heavily upon us. I hope we're paying close attention.

We can't keep giving elections away...

Nothing but misery with these people, they are happiest when controlling so many facet's of our lives that make it hard to survive, impossible to be happy.

the question becomes: Will Democrats do everything possible to stop them?? I know Bernie brings this issue up, pretty much at every campaign stop, and I've heard some of the other candidates also do so. One thing's for sure, we need to keep this issue alive, in spite of Mueller and what looks to be his non-report report.


Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

Barring a very, very heavy Democratic turnout the answer is Yes they will and will make every effort to do so.

They cannot win if they do not cheat.

And then found out, magically, we still had the idiot W and the evil crud Cheney.

Something about votes going through RepubliCON servers in Chattanooga.

Those were the days the GOP didn't need Little man Putin to rig elections. But a rigged Supreme Court helps. And most everyone just let it happen.

I have often wondered if we can sidestep their attempts at suppressing Dem votes by registering as regugs in certain states (as disgusting as that sounds) because in twenty+ states they have open primaries where you can vote for any body in any party. I doubt they would turn away repugs or purge them off the roster like they try to do with us Dems....

It is so frustrating. We know for certain that they will cheat. What are we going to do about it NOW?

If they're allowed to get away with the 2016 election theft, there's no stopping them in 2020 and beyond.
Our chief diplomat is compromised. Also, they have learned from previous mistakes. All they need to do, are these "diplomatic" meetings where Putin and Trump can plot and scheme in private, without listening ears and the interpreter's notes. No need for Eric Prince in Seychelles, Cohen in Prague and Don Jr in Trump tower.
