I expect a blitzkrieg of laws stopping voters from voting in bluer areas of the country. It will be the worst in history because the GOP is desperate to keep power and gain power in an effort to stop usually mid term election losses. I expect even OPEN illegality and boldness we have never seen in our history.
All we have to do is look at the trends. We must fight back viciously even as we aggressively work GOTV.
