I keep seeing where many Dems are getting their hopes up super-high about voting in 2018, and in reality our voting systems are in disrepair, and growing worse for Dems. Whether it's voter purging, gerrymandering, voter crosschecking, restrictive voter ID laws, we NOW also have the ruskies interfering into the mix as well to worry about. How are we going to vote Dems into office wen our voting apparatus is vulnerable, hackable and when gerrymandering, voter-purging and voter crosschecking and voter ID is killing us by removing us from voter rolls o taking away our votes? thuglicans run every part of government and vote tally all across this country. Do you think they'll make it easier for Dems to vote them out of office especially when they can increase their #'s in the House/Senate and be closer than EVER to monkeying around with the Constitution? thuglicans have it too good--they control everything, meanwhile Dems risk becoming a permanent minority party if our votes don't count or we can't vote.
