(31,849 posts)the DNC and anyone claiming to want change would see these numbers and organize a massive registration drive ... with special attention paid to gerrymandered House districts and every purple district.
It's great to register and turn out the vote in blue districts; but that doesn't/won't maintain seats and flip the house.
I live in a purplish district in Arizona ... a district where Barber (Dem) won by 1,402-vote margin (out of more than 300,000). I am currently planning a Candidate's Night that will be co-sponsored by an African-American interest organization, a Hispanic interest Organization and an economic justice interest organization. The focus being 3 under-represented segments of the population wanting to hear what the politicians have to say about addressing our issues. Along with the Candidate Night, I am working to have each group bring as many unregistered voters as possible, so they can get registered.
To be honest, the problem I'm facing reminds me of the words of a dear, and recently departed friend ... "Imagine what could be accomplished if no one wanted the credit." I am footing the bill, personally and out of my pocket, but the organizations are fighting over who will get top billing, who will moderate, etc.
