The truth is that we are a progressive state when we have a high presidential turnout. Democrats are the majority party. If we win the supreme court this April we can keep Walker and the State Legislature in check. With the supreme court election coming up we really need to go for that level of turnout. We have the turnout list from the most recent presidential election to go off of and that can help us out when turning out college students and other people who move a lot. The campaigns need to speak to a broader electorate than what we generally do in supreme court and off year elections.
