Moderates and progressives take heart! We may have lost another round of senate seats and governor races in the south in 2018, but it was mighty close and the trend is in our direction. Let's keep registering voters and lets vote EVERY time the polls open.

And my goodness, so much work to do to counter the - there's no more appropriate word than cheating - in the form of gerrymandering, voter suppression, outright fraud (N.C.), and lame-duck evisceration of the incoming Executives' authority. I'm a lifelong GOTV guy, but it may not be enough without addressing these as well!

Gerrymandering is not unique to either party and with early and advanced voting inGeorgia, voter access is easier than ever.

But computer mapping has greatly intensified partisan Gerrymandering. Both parties have been guilty. the GOP has perfected it, and in 2018 are the primary beneficiaries of it. In Wisconsin, for example, the Democratic party has only 36% of the legislative seats despite winning a healthy majority of the votes. That is just plain obscene.
