Does it make any sense for Democrats to participate in elections
until we are assured of a fairly conducted election process ( No Voter intimidation, no purged or falsified rolls) and all votes are correctly counted?

1. Not until you get rid of the machines...
Paper ballots, manual recounts...

That's all you really need.

2. not until we get a new party that will deal with e-voting
for right now, the Democratic Party might as well be a complete fiction. Because realistically they don't exist anymore.

3. Take a look a OR vote by mail
It is really working! 80% voter balloting!
The one state where you can take your ballot off to yourself with a no.2 pencil, mark, seal it, and mail or drop box it.
It is read by the same kinds of machines that have been used on school tests for years.
