5. Yes I am. The Republicans are in better shape to steal this election than they were in 2016...

The Republicans hold both houses of state legislatures in more states to give tRump an even larger margin of victory in the electoral college and are already making efforts to suppress the vote in those states. They have already practiced in Georgia and know what works. https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1016&pid=230683

The Republicans have confirmed a record number of conservative judges and Joanie Ernst of the Senate Judiciary committee has stated their legislative goal in the Senate is to confirm as many more as possible before 2020. https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/22/politics/joni-ernst-robert-mueller-testify-donald-trump/index.html Any objections to voter suppression cases in the states of course will need to be heard before the courts.

Throw in the fact that tRump has even done more to hinder fighting cybersecurity hacking of the elections and we have a perfect storm brewing.
