Project Alamo? Aptly named.

[Mc Mike]

"Report: Donald Trump's 'Project Alamo' in S.A. is working to 'suppress' voters"
...
"With just a three point lead in Texas, Donald Trump's campaign team here, called "Project Alamo," has turned to voter suppression tactics in an effort to give the Republican nominee an uptick in votes on Election Day, according to a new Bloomberg Businessweek article.

Bloomberg reports the research team in San Antonio, which spends $100,000 on surveys weekly, along with Trump's national campaign effort, are targeting three voter groups: women, white liberals and African Americans."

...
"'We have three major voter suppression operations under way,' a senior official with the campaign told Businessweek."

"Brad Parscale, a high-ranking Trump official closely tied to the project, said expensive internal polling done by the campaign showed that Trump was behind in the presidential race.

"Nate Silver's results have been similar to ours," Parscale said, referring to the renowned statistician, "except they lag by a week or two because he's relying on public polls."

The campaign has a model, called the "Battleground Optimizer Path to Victory," to help weigh the states that the data team assessed are most critical to hitting the needed 270 electoral votes in November. Florida is the top state in this model, followed by Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia — a reliably red state. "

1. Trump needs ALL of those states. Clinton needs one.

4. I don't buy the malarky coming from dRumpf campaign flunkies, about stats and strategies

for legally winning particular states, through advertising, gotv, etc. His list of "targeted states" is a diversion. Alamo is what they're using nationwide.

But re their tech guy's particular list, I have more confidence that Project Alamo involves Ken Blackwell successor John Husted doing things like Blackwell did in OH. I see what Rick Scott and Ken Detzner are trying to pull in FL. Here in PA, we have a Dem Gov and State Sec, but Project Alamo's vote suppression effort threatens to take a different form, an '82 Consent Decree violating form. I'm sure McCrory in NC has his people working as diligently as Husted and Detzner. And I don't know much about GA.

My point about Alamo is it's a bunch of white guys stealing something down south, and going up against a huge wave of "non-white" people they don't like, in an actual armed conflict.

I'm hoping they get creamed like the first Alamo, or Little Big Horn, or Wabash, or Homestead, etc.

5. I wrote that Little Big Horn line in post 4, before I saw yours, CT. nt.

7. Yep. Maybe Gerry DeLemus can get to the Alamo,

in time for the last battle.
