Is anyone on this site doing anything about voter registration,

[SMC22307]

making sure voters have appropriate ID, etc.? Please share. And if you're in NC, who do you consider the best organization to work with?

1. In WI we can sign up with the State of WI DP (Democratic Party)

[SMC22307]

2. Does the State of WI DP make that known to Wisconsinites?

And are voters being made aware of rulings like this?

14. Thanks. Now is the time.

Now.

[SMC22307]

15. It is. Too many Dems don't seem to grasp that Rethugs see this as war.

(Enjoy Governor Youngkin, Virginia!)

3. Yes. Voter suppression started in WI.

Gerrymandering first. Voter Suppression, Closing ballot boxes. Curbing absentee ballots, then closing voting stations. and now, refusal to recognizes the outcomes of fair elections.

This is the future for everyone if we can’t beat Republicans.

Edit: oh... purging voters. All done here.

4. I think most Americans are oblivious to all of that, which spells doom for us.

Conservatives pay attention and network like nobody's business (thanks, right-wing billionaires!) but I'm just not seeing any urgency in many Democrats. I tune into Lester Holt in the evening to see what the masses are being spoon-fed and it's so damn manipulative (empty shelves! inflation!) I struggle through the 30 minutes.

5. Oregon has automatic voter registration.

Automatic Voter Registration a ‘Success’ in Oregon

8. Thank you. From the NCSL website, seems that 22 states and Washington, DC have...

automatic voter registration as of January 2022. Pretty much "blue" states but for Georgia and Virginia (I consider Georgia precarious and we all just witnessed what happened in Virginia, sadly...).

6. I can only recommend

contact your local Dem organization. There's a county HQ, and local committeeman (title varies state to state) who might be responsible for a polling place or two. Ask what they're doing, do they need help, are they texting, gathering voter data .... if they're waiting for state party it's not good, we need to be proactive.

9. "We need to be proactive."

Yes! I'm in a fairly blue bubble (safe) but want more than anything for Madison Cawthorn to be gone. Plus, Bo Hines, the Ivy League, gun-humpin' little shit he has endorsed.

10. At this time of year, committeemen and county organizations are idle, it's a good time to approach

with a little pluck you might be handed a project and some leeway to execute it

[SMC22307]

12. Republicans never rest. We do.

And I'm including myself in that "we." We need a Stacey Abrams in each state -- she's EFFECTIVE. Oh, wait...

7. We are in New Mexico. New laws to make voting easier and

working locally to boost registration rolls by the county Democratic Party.

[SMC22307]

11. Thanks, that's encouraging.

But overall I'm disgusted with what's going on in this country. Fat Nixon's rally last night added to it, plus his recent comments about targeting election officials in swing states (the gist being, “It’s not the people who vote that count. It’s the people who count the votes.”). They are chipping away at the foundation with great success (school boards, local level, etc.) and I'm not sure people on "our side" fully understand the ramifications.

13. The Stacey Abrams of North Carolina...
