10. Okay, we're talking about black folks
Your "Blame Bernie" post needs some tweaking.
yeah... I don't see a lot of black folks voting for some old white jewish guy.

2. Well, a bunch of them were purged from the voter rolls.
Ossoff's republican opponent was a big part of that, especially in the district where they are running:

It also went on in Michigan, Wisconsin, and likely a number of other states that went for Obama in 2008 and 2012, but flipped to Don the Con in 2016.

23. THIS!!! Oh how that is Conveniently Forgotten.
There was a report awhile ago that said more were purged from Wisconsin than trump won by.
"Wisconsin’s Voter-ID Law Suppressed 200,000 Votes in 2016"

think about that for a moment.... 200,000 voters were on the roles...
illegally... in just one state. Who knows how many are on the rolls in California... but I am guessing about 3,000,000 or so.

6. With voter suppression and the attack on POC by law enforcement...not sure that it is about turnout...but if you don't vote than the GOP keeps riding high.

13. DNC needs to contact EVERY registered Democrat Ideally, we should not only contact them, but we should send over a representative with an early voting ballot. If we can dispatch about a thousand volunteers, we can do this and win the district handily! Then rinse and repeat for EVERY race in the future.
I'm betting the DNC will just skip the middleman and cast the vote for all them poor ol' darkies...

hate to have them vote for the wrong person, you know.
