1. Dear god this is over hyped

Yes, I know, we need to pay attention to this but that Ari headline was ridiculous.

[Eliot Rosewater]

4. Not only NOT over hyped but not hyped enough. When it FINALLY comes out votes

were flipped in those 4 states 2 years ago, it will be too late for some.

And it must also always be repeated that the KGB does not act without the overt help of the GOP.

[mythology]

10. Except all the evidence shows no votes were flipped

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2017/06/06/were-2016-vote-counts-in-michigan-and-wisconsin-hacked-we-double-checked/?utm_term=.d459789f6b54

In brief, we find no evidence that the voting technology favored one candidate more than the other.

Nor could we find any statistical differences correlated with accessibility technologies or with different voting technology vendors.

The tests uncovered nothing suspicious. That supports a conclusion that voting machines themselves were not hacked.

Additionally the polls were only off by a point. They were substantially more accurate than in the 2012 election.

If you have some evidence other than a blind insistence that facts don't matter, present it.

13. that's why

those senators went to russia for the 4th July, crap this better not happen again. We need all hands on deck for this (the vote in November), or we will loose everything we hold dear.

[Cary]

9. Oh dear, why would say that?

These aren't the droids we're looking for? Really?

[eleny]

11. Yeah, sure. Just look who is in the White House

So, no thanks. And this is a good start for me.

[samnsara]

2. well then lets stay the F off Facebook!

...and we wont get snookered...

[Iliyah]

3. It's going to get a lot worst the closer we get to November

Tons of articles of how the Democratic Party is divided, disarray, Spanish community not engaged, POC not engaged, educated whites not engaged. The economy will save the GOPers . . . . . .

Same damn thing they did in 2016 they are doing now and forever = cheat, steal, suppress, purge, whatever it takes to win courtesy of the GOP.

[Caliman73]

5. A quibble...

The "Spanish" community should not be engaged as we are not Spain. The Latino-American or Hispanic-American communities however, are fairly engaged as the issues of immigration, jobs, criminal justice, and trade affect us.

[Iliyah]

8. oops, "speaking" with that . . . . .

There was a article that said that the Latino community was not engaged into voting at this point time although they are "angry" at t-rump . . . .

[Caliman73]

12. There are a bunch of factions within the Latino community.

Mexicans can be socially conservative, but tend to support Democratic candidates on economic and immigration issues. Puerto Ricans tend to lean more Democratic while many Cuban and Central Americans tend to be more conservative. There are many different points of view in the pantheon of Latino people. I know that much of my family and my friends are very motivated to vote in the coming elections.

[lunasun]

6. A lot on twitter (I don't do Facebook) start with "I'm a lifelong democrat but...." and then go into

extreme right wing propaganda or almost Alex jones type crap . Getting easy to check and I don't think I'm paranoid because I never said stuff like this my whole life but yes something is out there in the media working against us
Or "I used to be liberal but.. "is another one playing the opposite approach

[peggysue2]

7. Which is why we need to stay abreast of the disinformation and . . .

dispute it as BS. We cannot say we weren't warned. Same old, same old, a ghostly trail from 2016.

Eyes on the prize. We concentrate on getting out a massive vote and bat down the new attempts to roll the result.

Never forget, never forgive. We know who they are this time.

[bdamomma]

14. also all those

who were forced to leave Puerto Rico, they will be voting also, after all they are Americans!
