Message to Durwood, with thanks to you for your post -- You know this, but in case someone is considering not voting because they think their vote will get suppressed, everyone should vote no matter how uncertain the voting situation is. The Russians and the GOP want people to think that their vote won't count. They want you to not even try to vote.
And the voting rules can change overnight. In Georgia, the courts just overturned the state's voter suppression methods so now all the people whose votes got rejected can now vote.
Vestralux,
Hey NC neighbor! I early voted last Friday. I saw long, long lines outside of early voting locations today.
Based on your suggestion, I lit a white candle and prayed for light and love for the candidates who run to help those who have less than them, for those who want to care for immigrants, those with health issues, for truth and light and justice. My cat found the process of lighting the candle *fascinating* and when I said, "We pray for those who want to serve and protect those who have less than they do," she responded, "Mrow!" I said, "We pray for truth, and light and justice," and she purred, "Mrow!"
It's sort of silly, but she added her support and good energy to our cause. I thought it might make you laugh. Any extra positive energy we can get, right?
Many thanks to all who fight for justice. I get so much peace and love from all of you here.

q, oh, my GOODNESS, I am in love with this kitten. And this story. Ha!
I'd love to think that my own cat son will equally offer his goodwill and good vibes to the cause (he has an abundance of both, after all), but come voting day when I plan to do my own such ritual (it just so perfectly happens to fall on the eve of the New Moon), I have a feeling he'll be more interested in investigating the candles—and thereby accidentally singeing his whiskers ... if I don't stop him first.
I'm really glad to hear so many people have been out there today, though. Thank you for letting us know. Here's to hoping that Tuesday goes smoothly, and that wherever we are, whomever we are, and however we choose to vote, we get the chance to do so without unjust intervention.

Hi Everyone, I started a new topic in another section about reading the future and am copying these last few posts to it. So if you want to continue the quantum physics discussion on the nature of reality, or on the nature of prediction/prophecy, you can continue it there. If you want to continue talking about the midterms, stay here. Thanks! Here's the section on how prophecy works. https://www.jeannemayell.com/community/understanding-prediction-and-consciousness/why-do-our-visions-of-the-future-sometimes-change/#post-8465
Hi Everyone,
I drew 3 tarot cards, one for the Democrats, one for the Republicans and one for Trump and asked how each of them would feel after the midterms. I got Democrats: King of Swords, Republicans: four of Wands reversed and Trump: Two of Pentacles (all from the Rider Waite deck). I understood the King of Swords to be positive for the Democrats and to show that they come into more responsibility, the Four of Wands reversed to show confusion or lack of unity amongst the Republicans and have no idea what to make of the Two of Pentacles for Trump except that it always has to do with money for him. Please feel free to give your interpretations as I still have much to learn when it comes to the cards.
I have been practicing daily sending light to everyone for determination to do the right thing and protection for the voters, candidates and the weakest among us. I am also practicing envisioning a soft blue wave gently enveloping the shore, washing away and dissolving hate and anger.
Best wishes for calm and strong nerves for all!
Thanks for throwing these cards and sharing your interpretation. The Ryder King of Swords, which is your card for the Dems post Midterms, indicates a new found position of power for the democrats. He sits with a pale blue robe, symbol of desire to do good. He holds a strong, straight, substantial sword -- symbol of an ability to wield power and especially to have a powerful platform to tell the truth.
The House Intelligence Committee will finally be able to take control of that committee's findings and use it for good.
I notice in that card the tiny trees flanking the King, indicating the House will finally be able to will direct some energy towards caring for the environment. The King looks large compared to the trees which means the House may choose to wield power to help our earth. Perhaps they will be able to do something about the rogue EPA that Trump created.
The Republicans' upside down 4 of wands shows that their plans of full metal jacket power to dismantle democracy once and for all have been dashed temporarily although they will try to find some way around it. All those Rethuglican congresspeople and their hundreds of paid consultants and staff will be scurrying around like discombobulated insects when you lift off a rock.
Finally Trump's two of disks shows that man will as always look for a way to offset this new shift in power. That's his game. He does not give up. The character on the card looks to evil to me. He has only one focus - how to further his own selfish aims.
It is telling that polls indicate the House will shift, but probably not the Senate. The House represents the will of the people, although we know there is a substantial GOP bias that they've set up.
The Senate is so heavily biased towards the right that it will take a massive liberal landslide to take the Senate back.
As I look at these cards, I do not understand how U.S. citizens can vote Republican. What are these people thinking?
Jeanne,
I have sat for hours and hours and internally analyzed why people can still support this insanity. Ive come up with a couple reasons, none of which have any basis in reality, but real to them nonetheless.
1. Trump is catering to their pride in lack of education amd giving them a villain to blame all of their problems on, which is a lot easier than to admit your own mistakes got you here.
2. They respect strength and mistake his insecure ruthlessness for him being the strongest leader we have ever had.
3. Hes "taken away" the stigma of racism and misogyny and they are now feeling free to express their hatred.
4. As for the evangelical Christians, they see him as the antichrist and believe that him getting into power will initiate the rapture and they will all be saved by the 2nd coming of Christ. I have heard and read this so many times from evangelicals and this is the one that makes the least sense to me. Assuming(for the sake of my point) that they are correct and he is the antichrist, then supporting him, no matter the reason, would get them left during the rapture, never to get to Heaven(according to their prophecies). Somehow they have convinced themselves that no matter what they do they will be saved, even when they support the antichrist.
Good news: a new poll finds a 14% increase in the youth vote, the majority of which is progressive. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/nov/05/youth-vote-democrats-midterms-nextgen-tom-steyer-trump?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
This was a prediction that Paula made for the midterms. I have also seen a rise in a powerful youth activism over the coming years.
I also like how Trump has hijaked the midterm elections and made it all about himself and his hatred for immigrants and any one of color.
