Trump May Be Boon for Down-Ballot Dems, LGBT Rights in Arizona, Georgia
by JULIE MOREAU, PH.D.

The Clinton campaign announced this week it no longer considers states like Virginia to be battlegrounds in the presidential election. The latest polls show Trump trailing enough that her campaign is diverting staff to Arizona and Georgia, typically considered to be safely red states.

With the exception of Bill Clinton in 1996, Arizona has voted for Republican presidential candidates since the 1950s, and Georgia has been reliably red for the past two decades. However, with additional resources, their 27 combined electoral votes could help make the difference for Clinton. And Clinton's strategic maneuver could also be a boon for Democrats in down-ballot races in these states.

1. keeping my fingers crossed...

that Hillary will be of help to the down-ballot Democratic candidates in all of the states. How sweet it would be to win the presidency, the Senate, and possibly the House.
