Democrats, challenge voters. Ask them, Will you allow the GOP to prevent you from voting?

Take your case to the people. And trust me, you have a bonafide argument.

I'd like to see Democrats run social media(youtube etc), TV, and radio ads asking that question.

Will you allow the Republican Party to prevent you from voting?

The GOTV response will be amazing, fellow Dems.

I f-ing guarantee it.

For example I'm in Pittsburgh - Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. We have a high percentage of Democratic voters and our Democratic Party is strong here.

However other areas of Pennsylvania - we have a lot of rural counties - it's 50/50 or the Repukes are in much higher numbers. That's where this message would mean something, where there really is a danger of Repukes suppressing votes. In those areas the Democratic Party is the weakest, and without funding for ad campaigns. That's where grassroots support with letters to the editor, message boards, Facebook pages, etc. can really make a difference.

I'm sure this is true in many other areas, states with big city populations in addition to rural/small towns.

it's nationwide. Even worldwide in many cases.

It covers most every voting district, as long as people have internet access. Not everyone has access but most do.

Social media does the work for us because it reaches such a large audience.

Thanks for the cool reply!

to pacify Republicans to keep them engaged.

Basically they are patting the crybaby losers on their backs and saying, “There, there, it’s OK T***p voter, you really won and we’ll do something so next time you won’t be cheated.”
