9. I'm in NC too.

The goal is to break their veto proof majority, which is a possibility with the re-drawn districts and the voter engagement I am seeing. Dunno if we will vote in 2017 for the GA. Looking like a no since the supremes are looking at the case. But that gives us more time to organize and recruit great candidates. Dems will contest every single race, not just the ones they might be able to win. This forces the GOP to defend ALL of their seats and diverts $ and time from the vulnerable urban candidates. And maybe some of the GOPers will get primary challengers as well. They deserve that. They are egregiously BAD, and not just in a partisan way.

I plan to take a leave of absence from my job if I can manage it, to work on campaigns and GOTV. I am MAD. Really, deeply and profoundly pissed off. And I'm not the only one.
