We may want to pay attention to Malcom Nance here.

He was on Stephanie Miller's show saying how Trump might have been sending out a single to Putin to hack the 2018 midterms in favor of Democrats with his recent tweet. In an attempt to cast a shadow over the blue wave wins.

It wouldn't have to be influential in the actual race, and it could be in solid blue districts already. All it has to do is create the illusion for the easily influenced.

He talks about it beginning about the 11:00 minute mark.

He's been saying if you're in a state where early voting is paper ballots, take advantage of that and vote early. Sadly, my state doesn't have that option.

1. This actually makes sense.

Two years ago I would've said that it was paranoia talking but now it could possibly be true. Look what two years has done to this county's minds and imagine what two more years will do at this rate.

4. I would have dismissed this as a nutty conspiracy theory two years ago, myself.

Malcom Nance isn't a CT sort of guy, and a lot has changed in the US in the past two years.

Now, I'm thinking it's a viable possibility we need to be paying attention to.

2. I had that same thought

Either Ass Face is inviting the Russians to mess with the election (they probably already are) for the benefit of the Dems, or he is pre-excusing himself for the Repugs losing in November.

We in Oregon have all paper ballots for all elections. 100% vote by mail. I hope one of the things the Dems do when they take back the Congress, is to pass a law that ALL federal elections must be paper ballots.

9. My first thought was a pre-excuse.

Then I realized that was the same thought I had in 2016 when he was saying the election was rigged. I missed some nuances on that one.

3. I don't doubt this.. This is why the November vote has to be OVERWHELMING

[herding cats]

5. That's exactly right.

We need to hit the polls in such high numbers there's no doubt as to the outcome.

6. It doesn't matter if Russia does anything or not

Twitler's ignorant followers will believe whatever he tells them.

7. I always pay attention to Malcolm Nance. I think he's brilliant. If he's worried, I'm terrified.

Also note that there's no big push by the Traitor-In-Chief to secure our election process and fight back.

We're in deeper shit than I ever thought possible.

Please hurry Bob Mueller, while there's still a country left to save. All these fucks have to be behind bars...now.
Today would work.

12. I'm the same as you.

I listen to Nance. He's intelligent, informed and not a person I think of as a conspiracist. Which is why I think this deserves to be discussed and considered.

8. Our early voting in north georgia is electronic.

At least they don't know how I voted. Maybe. Who knows.

[awesomerwb1]

10. What would the end game be?

Ok, so the Dems crush it in November.

The gop/DOJ etc etc start "investigating" and discover serious anomalies showing the russians helped the Dems win.

Take it to the Supreme Court? Can the elections then be "decertified" for use of the proper term?

Then what happens?

[herding cats]

11. My belief is it's about establishing chaos.

The more Russia can destabilize the US the weaker we are. So far that's seems to be working pretty well for Putin with Trump in office.

[Docreed2003]

13. A frightening thought...

Malcolm has been saying for a while that the most chaotic thing putin could do would b to simply allow the blue wave but give the appearance of a hack to help Dems

[herding cats]

14. He has.

Now he's suggesting that Russia may, in essence, plant some evidence to aid Trumps claims.

What's scary is it makes sense that they would.
