Jaded observers are pessimistic about a blue wave this Tuesday because
dramatic change of the Congress takes place when the incumbent gives
little to his constituency to get excited about.
(Obama 2010?)
As it turned out Trump has given his base victory over victory even
though his victories amount to crippling the supports of an already
shaky polity.
So it seems we’re in for a whole lot more of the du du.
Aside from Republican inspired voter suppression, gerrymandering, purging
voter roles by the scores or hundreds of thousands, and Secretaries of
State with conflicts of interest -- in a race as close as this, it’s
easier to flip the results by means of computer reversal of the numbers.
Not did the bad guys find it hard even to flip landslides. Note
the risible 2004 re-election of Bush-Cheney – not to mention their
incredible numbers for the popular vote. Nor was the 2000 election close
before they changed the numbers.
One thing we’ve learned to watch
out for is when they announce a temporary computer shutdown in the midst
of the vote count when the trends and the exit polls are not to their
liking.
