Did you miss that? And who said anything about counting on repugs to help? Come on. We're not stupid.
We have to work on both fronts and through the courts and media. It's a no-brainer. Some blue states have had success oveturning repug vote suppression measures throught the courts already.
If we do that successfully, and again as I said, continue our GOTV effort, we win since we do have a voting edge on them we can maintain 3 million in 2016.
Stopping a good portion of their vote suppression is a win for us.
