Like the Presidency in 2000, 2004 and 2016.
Hundreds of thousands across the country are being stopped from voting.
In North Dakota, the Native Americans, who put over Heitkamp the top in the last election, will not be able to vote.
In the close Kansas Governor race, a whole town of mostly Dem voters is being disenfranchised.
And don't start me on Georgia.
Are you aware the margin of victory for Trump in WI and MI was less than the suppressed vote in either State.
I am not okay with needing 5%-10% more votes to win.

I guess you are.
