4. I hope she shares all the things they're done in Georgia in the last years.

I was recently reading about some of the tricks (I can’t find the article now) Republicans used to stop minority voters. One example given was country clerks simply sitting on new registrations and not processing them. So Democratic volunteers started following up with voters to see if they had received confirmations. When they had not, the volunteers instigated calls to the registrars, often with the voter online also, to ask what had happened to the registration and why it had not been processed. Most of them had no excuse and were forced to acknowledge that the applications existed, which they then processed to avoid greater attention.

They also followed up with voters whose ballots were voted as provisional ballots to make sure that any issues were correctly addressed. They helped train people on how to complete mail ballots. In other words, there was a lot of hands-on effort involved in winning Georgia—the kind of effort we need in other states trending blue.
