We need to flip a *lot* of state legislatures - and hold our Dem majorities.
Some R legislatures rushed draconian bills to gut civil rights for the intent of getting them to the SCOTUS. See: Mississippi. Others held off because they’d lose.
Now they’re going to feel emboldened.

They’ve been planning for this — and the electoral wipeout of 2010 in which we lost hundreds upon hundreds of Democratic state legislative seats supercharged this strategy.
They’re so hellbent on voter disenfranchisement right now because our votes are all that’s in their way.

If you say your vote doesn’t matter — they wouldn’t be working so hard to block you from voting or to get you to believe that if it didn’t.
With the WI decision last night, they’re actively disenfranchising their own voters in order to disenfranchise even more Democratic voters.

Take a moment to dwell on that last part.
Would you rather extend voting rights to the most number of people or exclude the most number of people from voting?
Exclusion was the point of VA’s photo ID law our Democratic majorities repealed.
That’s the point of Florida’s fines.

Nihilism doesn’t prevent bad things from happening and it sure as hell doesn’t enact good policies like we did in Virginia this year.
John Lewis took a baton to the head and was left for dead for the right to vote.
People have fought and died for it. That’s how precious it is.
