OK: the NC thing is Huge. YUUUUUGE

[Recursion]

This is actual snap elections called by a US court for a state legislature, after judicial redistricting.

This is the first place we hit back, and we have to do it so hard they won't even know where that came from.

We need, right now, to have people in NC getting IDs for voters without them, because the legislature is going to have a swing at another voter suppression law in advance of this.

1. New to NC, I'd like to be in on it

Moved to NC from NJ in June, going to join the county Dem org and suggest we have ID clinics and help in that regard. I think you are right about another try at an ID law and although we now have a Dem governor the legislature has a super-majority that can easily override his veto.

2. One step at a time

I agree, it's a long row to hoe. Please please please do join your county party org. and suggest the ID clinics. I know there's a charity in Orlando that helps get poor people IDs (called iDignity I think) that could perhaps help?

This election has to be sudden, brutal, and shockingly blue.

10. Again, GOTV will be crucial - DU nation, this is where we make our stand in 2017.

GOP focused like a laser on winning available seats in 2009 so they could control the narrative on Obama WH - buyer's remorse. They fought relentlessly to win Kennedy's seat and media rewarded them by repeating the phrase 'repudiation of arrogant Democrats'.
