I would like to see Bloomberg, (or any Billionaire that supports Democrats) come up with

A plan to Get people registered, AND get them to the poles to vote THIS election!! (wherever it's needed) THIS would be investing their money wisely! The RETHUGS only win by STOPPING people from voting. This in my eyes has to be defeated! If such a plan came about, i feel that would be OUR answer to SC'S Citizens United bullshit! Any thoughts on this?

I heard him say at a rally he had been sending money to her efforts to GOTV and redistricting.

there have been a lot of efforts to register people and GOTV since 2017.

Worked in '18, and early returns indicate it's working in '20, too.

If these guys are as patriotic as they claim, this is job number one now that they are out of the race.

Steyer’s organization has been helping teens and students register for years.

The problem is that Republican Secretaries of State and county clerks have conspired to suppress the youth vote by closing precincts near colleges to produce long lines at those which remain, and using bogus voter photo ID laws that don’t accept college IDs.

I certainly welcome the help of everyone, but we cannot rely on a White Knight.

We can all work on our families, friends, neighbors, coworkers to get them to the polls.
