In reply to the discussion: Another election stolen by the GOP: THOUSANDS of votes not counted or "stuck in the voting machines" [View all]karin_sj
(808 posts)I joined DU in 1995, right after GWB stole the 1994 election from Al Gore. And I was here when Kerry got the presidency stolen from him. Here we are, 22 years later and it's STILL happening! We still don't have paper trails, our voting machines are still insecure, gerrymandering is still going strong, and now we have the added assault on our elections from Russian attacks via social media and hacking the voter rolls and machines.
Little to nothing is being done to counter this. In fact, just the opposite as evidenced by the Republicans refusing to renew funding for election security and not holding Russia responsible for what they did in the 2016 election. At this point, we need to turn up and vote in HUGE numbers in order to counter all of this. And each of us needs to be responsible for double-checking to make sure we're still on the voter rolls so we don't end up having to use a provisional ballot. And dammit, we need to force the Democratic politicians to focus on ensuring election integrity when they win back the House & Senate in November!
