1. reapportionment after the 2020 census can solidify and extend their gerrymander for another decade. this is especially important in maine, Nebraska, and other states that might appoint electors by congressional district.

2. they still want a constitutional convention, and are only a few state legislators short of calling it. if you think that this could possibly be a good thing, the delegates will be selected by the state legislatures and will vote on amendments proposed by alex (= Koch brothers.)

3. observe what their state legislators have done in recent weeks.
