71. That's right! 90M eligible voters DID NOT in 2016 presidential election
Sat May 19, 2018, 07:30 PM
May 2018

(Naomi Klien, pbs/tavis smiley.) Breakdown was not given as to political affiliation.

Then, there's the issue of purged voters ineligible in 2016 election and presently. If not resolved by individual voter by simply reregistering, then possible democratic votes will be lost for 2018 midterm election. For example approx 300K Floridian voters were purged from registry. [Nov 23, 2016 · GREG PALAST: GOP Wrongly Purged More Than 1 Million ... About six million votes didn't count.]

Our focus should be: registering ONLY new democratic voters--let GOP work to get their own voters registered; assist a friend, neighbor to reregister if needed, or drive polling sites; and, volunteer at campaign headquarters. Well, anyway that's my goal for 2018 midterm. Vote GOTV!
