14. We now have to deal with the Kobach commission

Dec 2017

I can easily see them screwing over marginalized voters in 2018 and again in 2020. That's the major issue as I see it: you have these small wins, but can you really compete against tRump's commission (and the rethug narrative at large)? Kobach already has wide notoriety, for good or bad, but notoriety all the same. Everyone knows about the voter fraud commission. Think of how many low information people are willing to believe that the existence of the commission implies there is rampant voter fraud. We've had tRump pushing the fraud angle from well before November 2016, and the commission promotes that lie.

Sorry I'm being so pessimistic. I'm not trying to downplay the significance of the TX decision. I'm just mad as hell about the RW getting away with so much suppression and no one being aware of it.
