Let's get realistic about this election, people
Trump isn't going to win unless there is massive voter fraud, hacked machines and all of that. So that's where the focus needs to be, preventing that sort of thing.

Otherwise, if you look at the groundwork Democrats have laid the past three years, you can see where this is headed. The blue wave just keeps on rolling.

How we find missing ballots. How we stop over ballots that numbers dont match voters.

If interested, there are ways to make our elections safe and secure, but states, and the people who live in them have no desire to make sure their votes are counted. I called my SOS office years ago, asking about a random audit of a percentage of the vote. They had no idea what I was talking about, and told me having paper ballots was enough, and I've never called back. The state I live in has never had problematic elections, but that means nothing.

I re-checked my registration status a few weeks ago; I'm good.

Please pay attention to the extremely important distinction between the two terms. "Voter fraud" is a largely fictitious notion used by the GOP as an excuse to commit voter suppression; the concept is that large numbers of voters are risking jail to vote illegally. "Election fraud" on the other hand, is a big piece of GOP strategy; it includes hacking machines, hiding ballots, cooking up extra ballots, and so on.
Voter Fraud is retail and vanishingly rare.
Election Fraud is wholesale and very common in the GOP.
