Always be an optimist.
Nothing wrong with having an optimistic outlook, but it must always be harnessed with a cold observation of reality.
I am trying to be optimistic.
But given the fact that the Left has already inadvertently shown their cards by attacking the postal service and engaging specialists in challenging elections, I doubt that the simple fact that more people are paying attention and watching more closely will be enough to deter them.
There is too much money and power at stake for them to stop in the absence of people being actively, vigorously, and publicly prosecuted and convicted, so I think it is naive to think they will follow the law just because we are watching.
