... gerrymandering, election rigging, racism, and sexism. 80,000 + voters in the Detroit/Flint
area showed up to vote last November and voted but skipped voting for President? South Carolina
is another case 35% of the state is African American and 10% is Hispanic which means that the

The demographics are brutal for the GOP and they know it too so they are willing to do whatever
they have to .... including working with Russia ..... in order to keep power.

Turnout is very important but the republicans work very hard to keep that down too.
