DNC should support Secretary of State candidates in states

It's the various Republican Secretary of States who have been using/abusing the "Cross-Check" system to disenfranchise presumed minority voters all over the country-- yet our Democratic candidates for Secretary-of-States are left largely on their own.

The results of these races can badly effect every Democratic candidate on a state's ballot if the Republicans win the office. The results can really filter down to every future race for the next four years (usually). So I think more should be done on a national level to support our state SOS candidates-- at least where they have a chance of winning.

Air War in Michigan: ALL HILLARY, All The Time!

Just my personal observations from the past few days in Michigan:

Hillary has been clobbering Trump on the air in Michigan on television-- I don't recall hearing a single Trump ad over the past few days at all, but several anti-Trump pro-Hillary TV spots have been running very regularly-- Some of them have been by superpacs, and not the HRC campaign. (These have been both on cable and over-the-air television, I watch/listen to both depending on which part of the house I am in, LOL)

And yesterday, I began hearing radio versions of Hillary's anti-Trump ads on the pop and rock stations here, several times an hour all day long. This was the first time I've heard any such ads on regular commercial music radio, and they were ALL Hillary--- nary a Trump ad was heard. (Clearly he doesn't have the money, and the Republican party isn't helping much.)

Maybe there's some Trump ads playing somewhere here, sometime, but I sure haven't heard/seen any over the past week-- so if there are, they are few and far between (and rightly so!)

PS: Haven't heard any Trump ads on local right-wing radio either, which I peruse regularly to keep tabs on what the enemy is doing...


GO HILLARY!
