I hope every DUer is phone-banking, canvassing, driving people to the polls, or volunteering in some other way to help Democrats win. We are the variable in this formula.

Expect dirty tricks and we need a base to build off of for 2020 as well.

Its the illegal voting software that has been used to manipulate
votes. Too many high profile libs with large leads going into the
last days of voting...losing. ImhO its to obvious to not see...

1) The polls have predicted popular votes with amazing accuracy. Silver's prediction of Hillary's popular vote was as close to the actual vote as is possible.

If there was manipulation there would be discrepancy not confirmation.

2) High profile libs losing? Obama won twice, Clinton once. If they were manipulated they did a lousy job.

To advance a multi jurisdiction multi platform of rigging would require a conspiracy of thousands.

3) The reality is this country has an enormous number of racist/hateful/low educated morons.

Are they also manipulating FOX viewership which is higher than CNN and MSNBC combined? Billions going into Professional wrestling?

4) When we accept baseless charges of "vote manipulation" then you lay the foundation for the other side to make the same claim when we win.
