11. All good to hear, as well as the RNC being officially low on cash

But the Republicans are still swimming in undeclared dark money, and still control governorships and state legislatures willing to implement any scheme, legal or otherwise, to prevent Democratic votes from being cast or counted.

2016 was not a fluke, but rather a natural continuation of something that started in 1968, refined in 1980, and intensified in 2000, 2004, 2010, 2014, and perfected in 2016. Only a massive wave of “we’ve had enough of this!” as in 1976, 1992, and 2008, can resist the onslaught. As you can see, memories are short, and seem to lead them to victories more frequent than our once every 16 years. We must make sure that their stepping over the line (again) is stopped sooner this time. The last changeover from a Republican to a Democrat in the White House is only 12 years ago, but the 16 year gap is just a statistic, not a law. The change MUST come sooner this time, or we may not get another chance.
