(6,181 posts)Getting out to vote is part of the equation. But we have to realize that foreign powers have a PROVEN way to hack and impact our elections. 2016 case in point.
We know, those of us who care, that the Russian and possibly others are attacking our 2020 election system right now have no way to alter or stop that attack. We as private citizens have no way of knowing exactly what they are doing or how to stop them.
And apparently the GOP leadership is very content with the election system as it seems to be LEANING in their favor.
We have to do more in my opinion to get government action to fend off these Russian attacks.
Here is the simplest fact the "wolf alert" it doesn't do us any good to win elections by turning out 10,000,000 (example), new voters if the Russians are capable of altering/changing/deny access/suppressing/etc 11,000,000 votes.
Remember the same technology that allows investors to take advantage of micro-second of change in a market to make millions. Or guides a missile to hit with pinpoint accuracy a target thousand of miles away. That same technology can analyze in realtime what "changes" needs to be implemented in realtime to ensure a win.

(15,715 posts)with the correct locks on them and all, the black precincts always were for the liberal republicans but always voted for the VERY racist democrats. When the old mechanical voting machines come into the state I think was when the state elected Win Rockefeller (R) as a republican (L) governor.
