On issues surrounding voting...another one is the continued use of proven hackable Republican privately owned, voting machines to decide results.

There should at least be a concerted effort, if this kind of shenanigans can't be stopped, to make a loud public statement by the Democratic leadership to make Americans aware that this is going on and to go make sure you are registered and able to vote in November. And if not, find out why and fix it. And maybe also report the incident.
