Party apparatus to combat repug cheating, Interstate Crosscheck, Russian hacking and illegal repug vote suppression.

It has to be as strong a concerted effort as our get-out-the-vote cmapaigns because repugs continually work as hard to stop our votes as we do to get people to vote.

There should be private investigators, media liaisons (traditional media and social media) to get this effort out into the zeitgeist with appropriate buzz created and memes circulating so everyone is aware of not just our efforts to expose repug cheating but also of the history of repug cheating. The department should have fund raisers, date entry volunteers — the whole deal.

This should have happened yesterday, as in 2000.
