Knocks people off in both localities if they have an old registration and then they have to fight to get back on in the new one.

Often without notice, so they show up at the polls and are denied a vote.

their ruling, as they have on a few issues lately. Gerrymandering is an issue, but not one that hasn't been around for decades.

As to InterCheck, most (I'd bet 99%) of the names removed from the voter rolls were people who have moved from the area and would not be voting there anymore. The real test to me as to whether CrossCheck had any significant impact on voting is how many people arrived at the polls but were turned away because their registration was removed. To date, I have not seen any evidence of that happening. Not one complaint from the 6th last night either, I bet.

There are millions of voters who move and don't tell the local voter registration agency. I've done it, bet most of us have. If there were no crosschecking or purging after someone hasn't voted in 10 years or whatever, there would be long, irrelevant, voter registration lists everywhere. In fact, it would theoretically allow me to vote where I live now and in local elections everywhere else I've lived, if I were inclined to do so. Same for GOPers.

If you voted in 2016 or even 2012, you are likely still registered where you voted. If you haven't voted in a long time, you need to check to see if you are registered before showing up at the polls. That is something local Democratic organizations should be helping voters with. Don't know for sure, but I bet a few Democratic "operatives" could go to key places -- community centers, etc. -- and set up a computer to check peoples' registration.

Heck, in the 6th District a judge gave us an extra month to register people after the April 2017 special election. Trump's negative effect, the extra month to register, and probably one of the easiest voting environments in the USA -- mail in ballots, month of early voting, IDs can be practically anything including utility bills, etc. -- didn't help us win in a district that has been electing deplorables like Newt Gingrich and Tom Price for decades.


At some point, we are going to have to stop looking for easy fixes/excuses to losing.

Blaming election fraud and stuff ain't going to help us. In fact, it makes us look like a bunch of delusional whiners. I'm all for monitoring elections closer, but it's not like they aren't monitored now, notwithstanding the current memes on the election system.

Electing Democrats in local elections is the surest way to offset past gerrymandering that hurts us. Again, hopefully the Supreme Court's ruling will help.

the GOP machine. They had opp research on him and of course their usual bag of tricks.

if they can always play their tricks and beat any opponent
However, I remember that Barack Hussein Obama won twice, in spite of all that, plus racial hatred. If you are truly supported by the grassroots, not even the Republican Machine can stop you.
It gives me hope, and reinforces my thinking that Bernie would have won...
