This week needs to be a full court press.

Before next Monday.

Sorry but there's no such thing as a "do over election". That will never, ever, ever happen, so I'm not sure why people are floating that as a possibility.

The one saving grace is that we have a presumptive electoral winner with no popular vote mandate and now emerging news that his victory was heavily influenced by rogue foreign powers.

In the end, the electoral college is dominated by political party hacks. Sadly, the chances of a simple rubber stamp is at least 95%.

But we fight for that 5% chance this week like we've never fought before.

Got two replies both auto-replies. One was a very condescending rationalization from some jerk in TX about why we should "understand" the purpose of the EC. He should go back and read the Constitution.

I'm going to call my senator tomorrow. Any suggestions about what else we can do?
