Out-organizing voter suppression diverts huge amounts of resources to accomplish. But it is especially hard to do when organizing is made illegal.

The groups want Democrats to enact federal legislation like the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to counter that threat. Instead, they have heard that “White House officials and close allies of the president have expressed confidence that it is possible to ‘out-organize voter suppression,’” according to The New York Times.

Both nonpartisan and partisan groups have been trying to do that for years, or in some cases decades. And while they agree it may be possible to “out-organize voter suppression,” it takes an intensive amount of resources and time that could otherwise be directed toward other efforts.

“The White House is essentially telling organizers, ‘You got this. Just a little more time away from your family, just a little more blood, sweat and tears than what you gave to elect us, to hand us a Democratic Senate,’” said a senior Democratic operative in a state narrowly carried by Biden.

2. Maybe push against since these suppression efforts seem to run up against 1st Amendment rights

/free speech, I know that they have multiple court cases up against these voter suppression efforts but I don't really see much going on, anything on the legal front is like watching paint dry...the process is slow...
