If they are within a few points, the machines will take care if the rest.
Does anybody really get the sense that they are worried? Of course they aren't.
Losing this seat would be a PR disaster for them, not to mention making their margin for votes only One. A big liability for their middle class tax increase bill.
They just need it to be within 2 or 3, then they keep the seat. The racists in AL will take care of them, fear not. Then even if they were to try and remove him, the seat stays in repub hands. That is really all they care about.

(58,654 posts)They help, and the paper trail makes auditing easier, but electioneering goes far beyond flippable voting machines. ALL of the lead up to the election matters...voter registration, GOTV, advertising, and now social media attacks all matter. I expect a full court press, much like 2016, and Dems across the country have our work cut out for us.

There's truly nothing worse for the GOP's brand image
than to be the haven for child molestors.
