        I'm all for impeaching Trump over emoluments, but that won't address voter suppression much. VRA must be restored & #Crosscheck outlawed

        Dems have been guilty of gerrymandering in the past. Nowhere near GOP level. We need bipartisan independent commissions to draw districts.

        You haven't been to NWIndiana. It's bereft of jobs, services, good public transit. It's not rides needed- it's ensuring the right 2 vote

        Lots of ways to disenfranchise voters so getting to polls is the least of their problems depends on which BS indiana chooses

        Most of them won't even mention it as an issue. #Crosscheck blocked 1 million+ votes in swing states in 2016, and yet not a peep from Dems

        Isnt this part of what Obama and Eric Holder's org is suppose to address? National Democtratic Redistricting Committee (NRDC)?

        No. That's to address gerrymandering. #Crosscheck is a separate issue with voters being kicked off registration rolls. See @Greg_Palast

        If the courts keep blocking voting locations & hours, there must be an org on the ground locally to get ppl to the booth

        Transportation only part of the problem. Longer lines & waits with fewer locations.
