After all the letdowns over the last year, my greatest fear is that all the press is over the top and people just don't get out and vote like what has been predicted. Please, please let me be wrong.

you're not paranoid but there may be a saving grace and that is that each state has its own election system. what works to hack one might not work to hack all. with gerrymandering, only close races are affected; we must get EVERYONE out to vote. and don't listen to people who say 1. both major parties are the same. we don't even HAVE two major parties. we have a political party and a criminal organization, and the latter is currently in power and trying hard to keep it that way; 2. that we need a third party. we're not parliamentary; we don't have coalitions. this year, the republican party PAID to put green party candidates on ballots to split the liberal vote. vote blue and urge your friends and anyone else you can also to vote blue. help people register if it's not too late. help get people to the polls or help them apply for absentee ballots. my guy and i mailed off our votes this past thursday. if we hadn't had them, we would have needed help getting to the polls as we're both disabled.

I am more worried by the Kochs.

I'm worried they will, yes.

After 2016 I don't believe a goddamn thing until the oaths are being sworn.

I was hoping for a blue tsunami. And I've been paranoid for about 600 WHAT THE F...S a go.
If it gives you any comfort, you're not alone.

You may be paranoid, but that doesn't mean it isn't founded. I'm super worried, and don't expect to not be even after it's over.

Nope. I am concerned as well.
