There it is. The ONE UNCONTROLLABLE ELEMENT. Money is always in short supply, but we can get more. Volunteers are always welcome, and it's up to us to get as many boots on the ground as we can. In presidential election years, it's a smidge easier, but we can still work with whomever hears the call to get more votes in the box. But we have only the days and hours we have.
And there are new challenges; the Koch brothers are running ground ops where they will test us where we're stressed the most. The recent SCOTUS travesty,and this being a midterm, race, means we're facing unleashed 0.1% cash without any presidential races to siphon off a bit of the flood.
I don't know about you, but I'm going to be registering voters, on campus, in barbershops, at my local taqueria...and I'll be looking for what I can do to to GOTV for the next 215 days.
Tick tock.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
