I have nothing but doubt about the entire system. Voting machines that don't keep a paper trail?

Voting machine companies owned by Republicans?

States making registration and voting really difficult.

Its a farce.

There is no check and balance now - if there ever really was.

Once the SCOTUS id packed with RW toadies forget about progress.
