Does anyone know if there's a Dem plan to make sure all the votes are counted in 2018?

Looked at the DNC site, and didn't see anything, even on the voting rights page.

I also cannot understand how after 2000, 2004, and 2016, we still have this horrible, vulnerable process.

I have already contributed to Let America Vote, but was wondering if the party was going to be proactive in time for 2018.
