15. Your last statement. Exactly! We shouldn't let this bullshit frighten us.

They're going to do what? Monitor every voting precinct? Nope. There are over 175,000 voting precincts nationwide. And voting is a state matter constitutionally and jealously guarded. Good luck with interfering with that on the state level. It's just the usual bullshit he spouts when he knows he's in trouble and running out of options.

And state supremes didn't hand him the mid terms. Most red states are gerrymandered to the hilt anyway so there's really not much squeeze left. And what there is only dilutes red votes. In this environment where he and his party are grossly unpopular, that's dangerous for Republicans. Taking a few safe, greater than +10 red districts and doubling them to only +5 red runs a hell of a risk. Fear of that risk is what drove Indiana Republicans to balk at further gerrymandering. It becomes self defeating after a point. Many Republicans think that point might have been passed already.
