Stealing the election?
The Republicans are going to do everything possible to steal the election. Will they be successful? Is the election fixed? I’ve been reading a few diaries re: the voting machines. Can this be ignored?
I know it sounds odd, but very little can be done about the machines being fixed. It’s difficult to prove, since no unauthorized person can get inside the machines and once the election is over fewer and fewer people will care.
But stealing with voter suppression, including long lines in urban areas of Ohio and Florida that are going to turn voters away, the robo calls, the fear tactics and intimidation (if I saw a billboard that hinted I might go to jail or be deported if I voted, I don’t know what I would do), plus every other devious act and trick they plan on doing- what’s going to be Wednesday’s reaction from everyone if they successfully steal it?
I think there would be less stress for Democrats, or people who understand what Romney represents, if they were certain that the election was fair and honest. Has there been a poll taken so far about this fair and honest question?
One more thing, which runs almost opposite the above. My diary yesterday suggested that the GOP knew that they could get away with the “sending jobs to China” ad in Ohio- and that it would even be successful for them. That’s the cynic in me and I know that others have felt the same. Another way of looking at the ad is that they knew they were heading for a loss in Ohio, so, why not roll the dice. 75% of me goes w/ yesterday’s diary and 25% goes with this more optimistic thought- meaning they have strong Ohio doubts.
