It’s not that hard to ensure an election isn’t stolen. But the GOP doesn’t know how to play hard ball. I’m still shocked they managed to preseve Florida. they probably only did so because it was so highly scrutinized and the Bush family with their long ties to those in power had an investment in not backing down. Even then it took all of conservative media’s might and the citizenry (of which Freepers played a role) to shine a light on the attempted theft.

They stole Washington state’s governor race in 2004 and the party did practically nothing. neither did most conservative media. That’s part of why I’m not invested here. I expect the GOP to allow this race to be stolen too, and maybe I’m still bitter they let Rossi go down even though he won by a larger margin then Coleman.

If Coleman were say, Sessions? I’d be more active but he’s not policy wise. And yes I know it’s a terrible thing what is happening and I should spit fire over it in principle, but having had it happen in my own state my emotional reserves are spent until I see the GOP make a real move to prevent this from ever occuring rather then behaving in reaction after the fact.

I agree. the Republican party is so split. The Congress critters have just never said boo to their Dem cohorts.
