As @maddow said, be patient.

By election day, approximately 100 million people will have cast their votes. The early in-person vote reporting is leaning towards democrats. The mail-in vote - despite the deliberate sabotage - is leaning the democrats' way, too.

There's no reason to belief that the ballots the republicans will attempt to block after election day of any kind will benefit the GOP. That's why they want them blocked no matter their validity. That includes mail-in and provisional ballots.

And while the conventional wisdom says election day turnout may favor republicans, with democrats being angry about overt republican attempts to steal the election, there is no reason to believe that democratic voter enthusiasm or numbers will diminish on election day itself.

So despite the considerable efforts to deprive Americans of their votes, the voters themselves are responding' Democrats are fighting the fight and putting in the work. But it is far from a done deal, and we cannot get lazy, complacent or overly confident.

While there is no reason to believe that the election is a lock for the democrats, and we don't have to vote like it's the last one we'll ever have (because it could very well be the last one) the republicans challenged democracy, and the democrats are responding to it's defense.

The republicans are doing everything they can to block, impede, cheat, and steal - and it will continue well beyond election day. But when it is all said and done, the things that they have done to sway the election actually have bitten them in the long run.

Out of their own desperation, they kicked the sleeping dog. And instead of their pernicious, craven, and mendacious tactics benefiting them, They will eventually be demonstrated to have hastened their own demise.

Democrats will will, but be patient.
