I am hopeful about Tuesday

but also scared shitless.
I think if everyone who wants to vote does vote, the Dems will carry the day.
I also see efforts, unseen in decades to stop people from voting. If they are successful, they will steal another election.
I am holding my breath for the next two days.

been a total shock to me. My fear has been rising steadily since tRump became president and "scared shitless" is my feeling about Tuesday. I've already voted and have helped 5 other people to vote by mail.

I can't help but think that the old tricks and machine tamperings have been left right where they are and will be used in this election. I'm going to pay particular attention to vote counts as they come in and, if Democrats are leading until the last minute when a surge of rethug votes come in, I will have lost all faith in this country.
