I understand your point of view. There are things which can be done to insure vote security. Poll watching is one thing. The Democratic party will have trained observers on the ground throughout the process.

One can always imagine scenerios where such efforts can be nullified, but it isn't as easy as some think it may be. That's why I consider the stolen election meme to be somewhat insidious. Why show up to vote if omnipotent opponents can twist any results to their advantage?

The Democratic party knows about the voter suppression and other techniques. I trust that the party will have people on the ground to handle things. In the past I have been an observer, too.
