1. Hire buses to take people in low income areas to get the necessary IDs and make sure they are good to go on election day!
2. Old time precinct captains; door to door, neighbor by neighbor, making sure people are aware of BS GOP deadlines, so people are not cut off of voting.
3. Media buys explaining how to avoid GOP tricks, such as wrong voting locations or dates.
4. Create an elite legal squad in every state that can pounce once the GOP tries their illegal shit.
We can win BIG in 2018, even with a counter offensive of evil shit that will be attempted by the Republicans by out smarting them vote by vote!

Hopefully we've got something going there, because the courts can help.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
