But the point is that we need to get more people to VOTE and that means at the STATE level.

The reason why "states are actively legislating to clear voting rolls" was because at some point in the past, Democrats and Independents sat it out and didn't want to get involved "in politics". A lot of that is still true today.

Turnout matters. But it also means having Democrats RUNNING for those seats. So many state/county/local positions are going uncontested, where the GOP automatically get in.
