that the Republicans may not play fair in the November election.

They might, like, say bad things about our candidate--things that aren't entirely accurate.

Also, the media may just find their candidates more exciting, admirable and personable than ours, and want to share their enthusiasm with the public by putting out good stories about the good guys--them--and bad stories about the bad guys--us.

Could be that some voting machines will malfunction too, and just by chance they may favor Republican candidates.

And another thing--in their zealous efforts to keep people from voting when they shouldn't, the Republicans may occasionally--purely accidentally--exclude someone from voting who should not be excluded. And, wonder of wonders, the excluded persons may tend to have dark skins or come from poor districts or things like that.

Now of course any events like these totally hypothetical scenarios I just dreamed up are improbable in the extreme.

But just to cover all our bases, do we have any contingency plans about these wildly demented speculations of mine?
