Will you accept the election results in November

[Mr.Bill]

if the republicans win in a landslide?

[Horse with no Name]

1. interesting question...especially considering the news in the past few days that the state and local

voter rolls were penetrated by the Russians.

Considering the amount of people who have been marching in the street....


So I do believe that if the republicans win in a landslide.....we should probably start learning to speak russian or we should make a break for the northern or southern border because democracy will be dead.

2. I didn't accept the 2016 results, and since nothing has changed in our vote collecting and ...

reporting systems, I won't accept the results for 2017 even if some Dems win. I want results that can be verified before I trust any announced election results since 2000. And elections before 200 don't look so hot either.

3. That would mean it was stolen.

I would then be in favor of secession referenda.

Joining the Canadian confederation looks more appealing every day that passes.

4. Are you asking if we are willing to rise up?...

Because not accepting the last results hasn't stopped them one bit

[Mr.Bill]

6. Not necessarily, but if you want to make it part of

the discussion, feel free.

[lame54]

7. Absent that...

Not accepting has no meaning

I'm not leading the charge(wouldnt know where to start) but w/o some kind of pushback we are all accepting(or forced to swallow if you prefer) it

5. Depends on what happens as we get closer to November.

GOPers should get zero votes under current circumstances, but they still get a lot of support at local level -- particularly state level where gerrymandering is not as much of a factor.

8. This is potentially dangerous territory

What if, as we all hope, Dems win?

What if Dems win in the states but lose in Congressional races?

We are, and have been, in seriously dangerous territory.

This has been discussed here for years.

9. In a landslide? No. In a close contest? Maybe, but I would have doubts.

10. Will we ever accept a result other than a win?

Seems unlikely.

[LanternWaste]

20. Will we ever stop speaking for other people?

Seems even more unlikely.

11. When do we demand paper ballots counted by human beings?

Yes, that process has flaws, too. Every process does. But it seems like the simplest way to secure our elections from electronic hacking, is to go back to paper ballots that are counted by human beings, not tabulators.

13. + 1000000000000000...

12. No, if we don't win our repbublic is done n/t

[mythology]

14. Depends on what polls show.

If for example as in 2016, the national polls right be before the election were highly accurate, then we lost.

As an increasingly frustrating reminder to give, there is exactly zero evidence votes were changed and all the evidence says that they weren't. Not wanting to accept basic reality, doesn't change facts.

15. I've lived my voting life in Texas, Oklahoma and Alabama.

I have to ask - what would you consider a Republican landslide?

[Mr.Bill]

16. You have my sympathy.

I was thinking mainly of Congress. Let's say the republicans picked up 30 seats in the house and 10 in the Senate.

[yallerdawg]

17. That would be an unprecedented run...

and you can bet a lot of votes would be looked at before these elections were certified as final results!

40 Democrats would not go down quietly!

[oberliner]

18. As opposed to what?

[kacekwl]

19. Yes, if they are all paper ballots and supervised by certified multi-layer officials and counted by

bonded officials under oath. As trump says, "we'll see".
