Not unrelated the news about the Super PAC and Trump campaign coordinating via the Parscale owned companies.
“Undermanned”? I am shocked that NBC didn’t use a gender neutral description. Use of the word undermanned will cause the unraveling of our republic.
How convenient.

Thanks to trump and the complicit GOP 😡
I suppose the Trump Brothers or Russia will over see our 'election' All results will come from the Kremlin.
Trump and GOP are so happy
The GOP refused to protect our electoral process. If Trump wins, no one should accept the results. We must make the protests in Hong Kong, Puerto Rico, & Russia look like a pep rally for kindergarteners. There’s no democracy if we can’t believe our election results.
WTF
