General Discussion

I've been saying we need election monitoring for years, since the bush years and Ohio. If still allowed, I will vote. It wouldn't be the first time I feel like my blue vote in a deep red, gerrymandered state is useless. But I couldn't help myself not to vote. That's just so unthinkable to me. I've been voting since I was 18. Of course, they're already working on nullifying the 19th amendment, so who knows if they'll even let me through the doors by election time. But the thought of troops, in gear or out of it, "supervising" elections is chilling to me. That people would be afraid to go to the polls is almost unthinkable. I believe, like most other 3rd world countries, that outside intervention is absolutely needed to ensure an election goes smoothly. I also believe, however, that most of the election rigging and tampering will be done long before election day.
