Yes,the convention is boffo, but the fight is not over

We still need to fight until the election is conceded.

Now, many others have done a fine job of describing the way the GOP states have warped laws to disocurage democrats from voting. Yes, there have been some court victories, but to a large extent, the damage is done because groups like the League of Women Voters were discouraged from going into the battleground states, and even if they came back now, they would have a LOT of ground to catch up. I cannot speak for other swing states, but I know Florida has their goons well mobilized to intimidate and eliminate, from the slimy lawyers to Elmer Gantry preachers to the supposed "lone wolves" with guns. Nothing less than sheer numbers will do much good.

Yes, the voting machines are here, and we know that there is a reason all the GOP states fought against the idea of standardizing the election system, because they not only want to rig it, but they want to say "see, WE OWN THIS COUNTRY!'

And last, but far from least, is good old Bibi. Now, as I said again, I know most Jews are not Zionists, but if Israel attacks Iran, we all know the show that will be put up, "that mean ole muslim wants the Iranians to kill all the jews." Sadly, many Democrats will not stop this, as they actually buy that line.
