Do you have a credible news source other than mainstream democrat media? :biggrinjester:

This morning I was reading breathless speculation about a cyber attack backed by Russia on election day.

The Dimocrats must be getting really anxious - dog wagging all over the place.

I think Scott Adams was probably correct. ISIS will not strike the US before election day because that will help Trump. They are waiting for Hillary to get ensconced.

Considering Trump supporters are much more enthusiastic about voting than Hillary supporters. I assume this would swing the vote in trumps direction

If they do come to Texas, I bet they steer clear of Garland!

Governor Abbott in a November 4 Press Release wrote:My office is working with law enforcement officials and we are continuing to monitor the situation in close coordination with the Texas Department of Public Safety. Texans should go about their daily lives as usual, but remain vigilant over the next several days and report any suspicious activity to state or local law enforcement. The State of Texas will continue to do everything it can to ensure the safety and security of its citizens.
By all accounts that I can find, it appears that whatever threat level was detected by the Feds was low-level and that steps at the states potentially affected are only basic precautionary measures...probably little more than they would normally do on a general election day. The media got wind of whatever came out of the DHS or FBI and of course it then--with no real specifics--made news everywhere from international outlets like Reuters to your local network affiliate.

Another reason to do away with the silly rules that prevent LTC's from carrying in arbitrary places, such as polling places.

My $.02 -- and probably worth about that much -- is that the MSM / DNC is prepping to contest the election results if HRC doesn't win. This "news"/speculation raises the specter of election fraud conducted in ways that haven't been typically employed by the DNC machine in the past, therefore they assign such possibilities to collusion with the Republicans and then contest the election results if/when the results don't conform to the polls. If the MSM and DNC are truly in cahoots as some believe, it is a handy little trick to produce polls which are then used as support for contesting election results. It is a good thing for them that the education systems have produced plenty of voters anxious to be told what to think instead of being able to think for themselves...

Unfortunately, we won't be armed at the polls and there won't be men with AR 15s backing us up.
