weeks before, Democrats need a back up plan. We should be prepared with go to physical sites to meet and get instructions as well as printed out lists of get out the vote persons. Cell phones may or may not work - i don't know.

It is a certainty they will do it, whether they are successful or not is the ONLY thing to wonder about.
What back up plan can we have, as I have warned of this for a LONG time. I am willing to help.

Similarly, Comeys announcement before 2016 election was one factor hurting Clinton.
Like you say, we have to be ready to respond whatever happens.

(32,626 posts)so he ran the elections, with all kinds of shenanigans. John Conyers had hearings on "What happened in Ohio"...and there's a book written by the same name. There were several other states....it was the first Presidential election since Bush vs Gore, where the electronic voting machines mandated by HAVA were in place...so while other states with Republican control had issues, Ohio went beyond the pale. He has actually been on some of the 'news' programs around election season to share his expertise.

(46,758 posts)Right now, Trump is going rogue. He has no support from the Democrats and will not have their support until he provides the evidence of imminent terrorist attacks.
But if Iran retaliates by attacking a U.S. city, then we will all have to fight them together -- no questions asked.
It's a formula Republicans have used to their benefit for a while.

Edited to add: republican bigwigs don't like democracy but their base doesn't know that.
