Ralph Nader offers urgent appeal after years of opposition: Vote for Democrats
...
In the week ahead, the crucial question is whether the Republican Party will be successful in capturing Congress. A Republican takeover of the House and Senate would be a huge step forward for fascistic politics.
Nader summarized the Republican threat to democracy: "We have never seen a party literally trying to repress the vote, miscount the vote, purge the vote, intimidate precinct worker volunteers and steal elections. They have actually basically said, 'Any election we lose is because it has been stolen from us.' That is the word of a dictatorship party."
That interview with Nader, reaching many thousands of progressive voters around the United States, could have an impact on numerous tight races. The battle for control of the Senate, most notably, is down to the wire in
Arizona,
Florida,
Georgia,
Iowa,
Nevada,
New Hampshire,
North Carolina,
Ohio,
Pennsylvania and
Wisconsin.
