A loss is not the only worry: Post election chaos is a possibility too.
With all the potential problems brought on by HAVA and evoting, we could very well end up looking like a banana republic on Wedenesday.

Boy, after just 12 years in control of congress, they've just about destroyed everything - we can't even have confidence in our electoral process.

Best thing to do is get out and vote in mass. This way exit polling etc. will be on our side.

I live in Oregon, where we have relatively clean elections (paper ballots, honest elections officials...well, in the "blue" half, anyway). Lord help states that do not have such provisions. If you live in one, you might want to suit up in your protest gear now, or at least prepare to be outraged. No, seriously, start now.

4. There's unverified evoting where I'm at. I will try to video my vote process.
Just tonight on the local news (D/FW) they were reporting how the computer was recording the wrong votes. It was atrributed to miscalibration.

This is pathetic.

If we do win, this is the first damn thing we need to address.

5. Please attempt to get as much documentation as you can.
Thanks. I can't believe that in Oregon, we're already hearing the kinds of rumors we are about alleged Republican plans to "pull stuff."

6. What is definition of TREASON? EVote profiteering Ruining Elections?
The Iraq war is a private company profit venture using OUR TROOPS for bait, and Taxpayer's money
