It' s not just ER the R governor's are going after. It's a massively regressive agenda hitting health, voting rights, education, the arts. You name it, they are after it.

I'm in Texas. Our Lege is the poster child for bad Republican ideas.

worked with Election Protection folks and Gathering to Save Our Democracy (TN election reform group) Would like to see much more coverage of voting machine issues. Wish we could establish a PR campaign covering traditional media, social media, etc. and keep this story front and center

I also was initially introduced to DU 7 years ago through this forum.

I believe the events in Venango County in PA could develop into a story that even the MSM would be forced to cover. Let's give Mary Beth Kuznik and BradBlog all the support we can to push this story. For more info on what's going on there:
