“1. It’s not enough to win; you have to win by more than the margin of fraud.”
Of the reasons listed - the one that scares me the most!
The fraud margin is about 2 to 3 %. I doubt they can generate more than that. A 4% spread should beat them every time. They are not prepared in a lot of areas to create the 3% fraud needed. Some races will be close enough for the fraud to work but not that many.
If they get close through fraud, they often continue to win by fraud. Witness: Al Franken US senator.
#2 is the one that scares me the most. I fear waking up on Wednesday morning to the realization that the Democrats worked harder than I did.
I’m working my butt off to punch out Scott Murphy in NY20 and get Chris Gibson elected. I think about it going to bed at night, I wake up thinking about, and I spend my waking hours working on it. Am I obsessed? HECK YEAH!!
Will it be enough? I fear waking up Wednesday morning regretting that I didn’t do more...
What about y’all? If you live in a “Safe D” or “Safe R” how ‘bout helping us out in the trenches? If you live in Denver can ya help Ryan Frazier? If you live in South Florida can ya help Allen West? If you live in western Massachusetts can ya help us in NY20 - we have the entire western boarder of Massachusetts... Springfield? Williamstown? Pittsfield? Lenox? Egremont? Are there ANY Republicans in Berkshire County at all?
Knock on doors, hand out lit, man the phone banks, do a sign-wave... it’s up to us - We The People - to do it!
Military ballots are already getting screwed with, and with repubs having a slim margin as it is, a few thousand votes could and will make the difference.
