Winning back state legislatures is also important in this last election before the 2020 Census. State legislatures redraw congressional districts every 10 years based on those numbers, and Democratic legislative majorities can shut down gerrymandering that disenfranchises voters.

Voting Republican will do the same but we treat everyone equally. We don't say someone is LGBTQ and are a victim and disadvantaged. We just create jobs and it's you the good people of America that fill those jobs with whomever you want. We don't tell you how to live.

You're so sad. Still using identity politics to scare your supporters. If you didn't convince your voters they were victims, you wouldn't have any voters.
