Any political activity by Republicans is useless until they can stamp-out this perpetual election theft by the Left.

I agree. We have to win by a clear 5% or we lose to fraud. I may as well not vote anymore. I know of a person here in Texas who had to vote a provisional ballot because she was on record as having voted already. She had not voted, but someone in the Oak Cliff area (95% Obama country) had already voted under her name. So, basically, she did not really vote, as provisional ballots are never counted unless it is for dems.

They had 80,000 votes to count after the election. Stevens needs to win this race.

After the WA state governor's contest in 2004 that the 'Rats stole in broad daylight under everyone's nose, a lot of the 'Pubs up there were willing to lie down for it because they promised that "the next time around" they were going to win by so big a margin that the 'Rats couldn't cheat their way in. Well, guess what happened the next time around? The 'Rat won by an even bigger margin (something like 6.5%). The whole hyped-up rematch was a flop. I said at the time of the first theft the 'Pubs were done because once a 'Rat gets in they are very, very difficult to flush out.

Not to mention the whole "win bigger next time so they can't cheat" concept is profoundly undemocratic. Think about what they are advocating. It says essentially one party starts out at an almost insurmountable disadvantage: they have to win not just a majority of the votes, but a super-majority in order to be elected. This is not the kind of elected representative government envisioned by the Founders. Once you require one side to have to win a super-majority, the whole concept of self-government is fatally undermined.
