It will be a nightmare if he wins when the other guy is ahead 36 points according to our republican paper a day ago--such a lead is almost unheard of..but I have this feeling he'll still get in--payback you know? Will he win? Will anyone rebell if he does? What could we do?

Blackwell was just sued in court this past week for throwing out up to 10% of registrations and absentees ballots for a minotr technicality (almost a million voters--he lost in court).

there is plenty of evidence that reps rigged it and the recount..you are just uninformed..I attended multiple hearings and the rep attorneys, one of whom would not recuse himself and ruled on his own case of using vote fraud, all refused to hear the evidence and tried to sanction attorneys ignoring multiple pleas from members of congress.
