Is Anybody Watching The Repugs Now For Collusion With Russia For Nov 2018?.....

The Repugs have more at stake today than they did back in 2016. They realize the consequences that they have if they lose the House or Senate or both in 2018. I fear that they will go all out in Nov to steal this election.

They control many states (governorships) and they will make every attempt to suppress votes, steal votes and gerrymandering still favors them. We know nothing has been done to prevent Russia from interfering in Nov as well.

I'm hoping the Mueller or somebody is watching for signs of collusion with Russia now and just not looking back at 2016.

Again - the Dems can't take Nov 2018 for granted. They need to assure a Blue Tsunami. They need to activate immediately to rally the Dems in their home states and districts to GOTV. Make Nov 2018 historic. Most people voting in any election in the U.S. ever.

There is power in the numbers. The Repugs can't steal or suppress enough votes to win - if the Dems come out in historic numbers.

I'm worried that some Dems hearing that there is a Blue Tsunami or Wave coming in Nov. will cause many to sit it out because they think it is in the bag. We can't afford to have any Dem sit out and not vote in Nov. GOTV!!!!!!

They have made it clear that they will not take down drumph

Many of them are also compromised.

Those traitors have it all to lose.

just said she hasn't seen Intel showing Russia pushed for a Trump win! I have grave doubts about the predicted Blue Wave in 2018. I don't think much has been done since 2016 to protect our Election Integrity, nor any significant dents in preventing Republican gerrymandering. I truly hope I'm wrong.

3. Democrats have seen recent gains, GOP advance voters exceeded Democratic ones

Republican ballots made up approximately 61 percent of early and absentee primary votes in the 2014 and 2016 election cycles, according to data provided by Secretary of State Brian Kemp’s office. Democratic ballots made up just 37 percent those years.

Fast forward to this year, and the Republican share of early and absentee primary ballots has shrunk to 53 percent, while Democrats’ share has climbed to 46 percent. Still, even though Democrats have seen recent gains, GOP advance voters exceeded Democratic ones by a healthy margin.
