It occurs to me that in most states, registration typically lasts through the next election cycle, which may mean that all those folks who hurdled Alabama's insidious, "require picture IDs and then close every DMV in an AA district" move should be on deck and prepared to take on the racists next year, too.
For the better part of this decade I've been pointing out that Republican election theft mechanisms are all based on a sagging demographic house of cards, where the GOP is actually accidentally creating the social change vectors (i.e., poverty) which can destroy them. Since every Republican tactic is designed to shift a small margin of votes, as soon as the demographic focus shifts just a few percent, the theft mechanisms no longer work, and the Republican collapse has an increasing chance of being total, overnight, and in some states, possibly even in before the next census can be used to gerrymander districts.
Honestly, I think all that is ten years away, and what's left of the US by then won't be worth saving. But for those of you who require a glimmer of hope, there it is: the destruction of the Republican Party will look exactly like last night, only 50 times larger.
