Of course there's some groups.. As always. Do you think it is a high-level effort, proportional to the stakes. Of course, the rules vary from state-to-state. After all the commotion, you'd think the country would have been blanketed with a "get-an-ID" mobilization.

I think the United States is an extremely large country and few things short of a presidential campaign have ever been effective at this kind of mobilization at that scale. I think local and regional efforts at mobilization and engagement tend to be most efficacious.

I also think broad conclusions about 2008-2016 should probably account for the fact to significant electoral erosion is normal for parties that hold the White House.

Local and regional efforts are underfunded! You could have a national mobilitation to make sure they exist/are funded. That's why I am calling it the Beto effect. A few high-profile races are funded but so many first-time, high-energy candidates are struggling. Hidden story.

Also, some erosion is normal but.. It was drastic. And then it had a feedback cycle after 2010 because of gerrymandering and other issues. To get out of here, you'd expect a massive mobilization. I only see a lot of grassroots energy, but not national strategic action tbh.pic.twitter.com/KTx8E6eGVp

This erosion coincided with a strategic shift on the R side (McConnell-type) so it wouldn't even matter that much if it were just historic rom. The point is there was a big erosion and the R strategic shift has meant bigger consequences. There hasn't been proportionate response.
