GOP Now Confident About November. They Have Things Fixed To Win.

We have to GOTV massively. Just hope they have not purged all Democrats or scheduled only a couple of broken machines in Democratic districts.

The probable fact that we have to win by double digits to just squeak by is infuriating. At least in Colorado we vote by mail, but we have a GOP prick who could scrub the voter rolls. Never thought I would witness such evil criminal activity or that SCOTUS would make purging ok.

be the last chance for many of them to score big bucks under Citizens United, and that money only goes to winners. So, yes, they are going to insist that they will WIN, WIN, WIN all the way up until November. And Russia will funnel them plenty of money so that it looks like Big Business is backing the GOP, so that other dupes---I mean donors will follow suit. I expect that most of the money they keep bragging about has come straight from Putin. And maybe from the kind of idiots who invest in BitCoins.

NSA, FBI, CIA and China are all over Russia right now. Not to mention India and the EU. Does anyone here really think that Russia could out-hack even China alone? Here is my prediction--we are finally going to see arrests and prosecutions for election fraud committed by Republicans--in the pay of Russia so it will be treason. It is one thing to commit E-fraud for Enron or Exxon and another thing altogether to do it for Mother Russia.

I hope I am wrong and it's a sound thrashing of the GOP, but I suspect it will not be anywhere near that.

Especially with the news from DHS that Russian hackers have focused on getting access to hundreds of utility control rooms.

I expect chaos and confusion in blue districts, business as usual in red.

I just hope I'm being paranoid, but these days who can say?

We should be doing a massive voter re-registration to counter the voter purges.
