What are the Dems doing to combat all the voter suppression laws?

I think information needs to be spread far and wide about HOW the Dems can vote.

I did hear that Biden can declare election day as a National Holliday - which it should be.

Also there should be phone numbers spread around, (like 211 is used for the United Way to disseminate all sorts of information) for people to call to get rides or find out information.

Their voter suppression needs to be hit back with voter disclosure and voter encouragement.

A voting mascot? idk. Of course things like what Michelle Obama is doing is great. Dems need to mobilize in those voter suppressed states to GOTV
(Which I used to think used to mean "Go watch TV" ....... And I realize I can be quite the idiot sometimes but I'm sure I'm not the only one so I think GOTV need to be updated also.)

I'd love to be part of a think tank who's goal is getting as many people to the poles as possible. Actually I'd love to find out that we have one already.

to counter act these anti-democratic actions. If only there was a bill they could all support.

I don't know how effective Youtube ads are. I know I just stare at the little button waiting for it to say, "Skip ad"
