What about the day AFTER the election?
Stop gazing fixedly at poll numbers!
We need to be thinking in advance about:
- Whatever the polls say, the Republicans have already taken steps to suppress voter turnout. If it starts to look (anywhere, in any precinct or district) like a repeat of past national elections, what’s the plan to stop them?
- More likely, the Republicans will falsely claim that the Democrats stole the election. What will be the correct way to counter this?
- Suppose the Democrats win and phony Republican claims of fraud fall flat. Then what? Press for immediate withdrawal from Iraq? For impeachment? Something else?
