Does a dog suck a bone?

NO, I would say the Dems have NOT done what they could or should..they sit very quietly, thinking that they will be shooed in as a backlash to Republicans...I am not so sure that will happen. Americans have proven time and time again that they stick with the evil they know. Dems have failed to curb the lunacy in Washington, and even now, provide nothing clear, nothing positive. I have no idea what has happened to my party, but it is sad that not a peep has been made by them in years. What have politics come to? If I had my way (I don't ), they ALL would be out in the streets counting the money they have made in the past 6 years, with a whole new bunch, new ideas, new direction..but I will not hold my breath. I am too busy trying to keep up with paying for a war that NO one wants, paying for gasoline that is making all energies companies obscenely rich. In all, the US has proved that they will vote FOR something, but, except for taxes, not AGAINST something...they just stay home on election day. After all, isn't this the same country that elected G. Bush, not once, but twice! Good luck

No matter who wins .. the voting can be rigged on the new computer paperless machines. The software has been breeched several times already. It is far from foolproof. There is no way to do an actual recount since the computer software results would only show the same false results. That is why you need a paper trail. Otherwise the whole thing is a farse. Good Luck ! :)

Only if it appears that there are obvious abuses that need to be investigated, such as more votes cast than the number of people living in the district, registered voters turned away because ostensibly they are not on the voting roles, or have the same common name as a felon, other suspicious techniques from the days of the old south. Oh, let's not forget Diebold machine and computer "problems" -- US standards for monitoring elections and fair counting of ballots are below those of many 3rd world countries.

That depends. If there is evidence of such, then yes, we will say that the elections were rigged.

Absolutley, someone will. They'll haul out the "every vote counts" despite knocking down the photo id legislation.

The Republicans have proven their ability to do just that!

They will hold on to power, but it will be tenuous at best

Any time liberals lose anything, the contest MUST HAVE BEEN "rigged." When they win, however, "the will of the people" has been done.
