I am tired of hearing the prophets of doom implying black Democrats in the South will soon become an endangered species.

The same goes for Texas and elsewhere. The GOP has already gerrymandered the hell out of everywhere, to the point where they can't dilute the Democratic vote anymore. They're probably just making the margins even slimmer in many "purplish" districts, which should come back and bite them in the ass, given the current public sentiment toward them and Dear Leader.

in precincts that have more votes than voters, we need to be prepared to move in and start asking questions. We need to micro-manage EVERY precinct to make sure that they're not flooding the ballot box with fake ballots.

in every election, we don't have a democracy of any kind.

Every single voting machine and central tabulator in this country needs to be made totally secure, or we are asking for a load of the same shit we've been having for years. Acting like there's no way the internet is "involved" in vote tallying is pure idiocy. It is a LIE that our voting is secure and unable to be tampered with by bad actors.

I just got a whole new medicare number because FUCKING MEDICARE was hacked. And voting is secure? Puhleeeze!!!

And don't give me any of that "you're a conspiracy theorist" shit! That's the only way to insure that no progress is ever made.

You're totally ignorant if you think "computers and tabulators are totally secure, because certainly nobody is out to steal elections" bullshit.

I know it's possible because a few years back the GOP could tell if their voters still hadn't voted in a precinct and would give them a direct call to remind them to come in and vote. How they were doing it was beyond me.
