It's clear that they are going strong arm these voter ID laws through wherever they can. What we need to do is organize and get as many people whatever help they may need in getting the documents they may need to get their ID's.

This sort of thing would take some time get to going so it's something that would need to be started now so that we are out front of the shit show that's going to be the 2018 midterms. It would be something for the DNC to do other than sitting around backbiting each other.
