19. We are.

Where y'all at? The GOTV will begin in earnest in September, fueled by a TON of interest from first time activist, but I have already done a few events this month and have more on the books.

We have multiple court cases wending their way through the appeals process that directly challenge voter suppression laws. That's why Gorsuch is such a complete disaster. Who knows what happens when they hit the Supreme Court. But we can't pin hopes on voter suppression going away as a result of the SC.

We are getting our asses whooped by the GOP. Hard, long and painfully. We are, in fact, losing the voter suppression battle. I hope the infusion of interest that Trump's election brings is enough, that it is not too late. But I have no way to know. People seemed excited after Obama won too, and then they poofed in the mid-terms.

Sorry to be depressing, but I do not believe that good GOTV will be enough to win these battles. No excuse not to do it, but I would not count on it as a magic bullet or an excuse to avoid building political coalitions.
