I think Oregon's mail in elections are pretty fair.

This has huge implications for the US Congress as well as the presidency.

Our electoral system is broken. It's not just election fraud, where votes are actually changed. It's voter suppression and also just the sheer amount of money flooding our elections. Until this stuff gets better, nothing, and I mean nothing, else gets fixed.

GOP-led Purge Threat to 3.5 Million Voters

http://www.gregpalast.com/gop-led-purge-threat-to-3-5-million-voters/

Millions of voters purged. Many will not be allowed to vote in the 2016 election and no one is doing a god damned thing about it

It's a steady stream of Repug generated electoral theft. I feel so hopeless about all this.

I feel less hopeful and more defeated.

When the bankers got away with collapsing the world economy and the OWS protesters were arrested in record numbers, we lost.

Absolutely. Elections are a state thing. If your state's elections aren't fair, then the place to deal with that is in your state. Elect legislators who will correct the unfairness or an Attorney General for that state who will prosecute election violations. While the Federal government investigates such things, they cannot change the laws in any state.

In what state do you live?

See my OP link.

It's also a deep red state. It doesn't really need to manipulate elections for Republicans to win. They will win anyhow.

Fortunately, for Presidential elections, it also has few electoral votes. My advice is that you work to mobilize Democratic voters who are currently not voting or not registered to vote. That is your only hope.

Then suddenly BAM. I smell a Repugnant rat.

Build a rock-solid case for election fraud and file in Federal Court or send your evidence to the US Attorney General's office. That's all you can do to try to have it investigated.

doesn't have fair elections.

Citizen's United has made national elections less fair.
