“Keeping the House in 2018 is going to be paramount!”
Absolutely, but IL and RI will have very little say in whether the GOP keeps the House next year. Both of RI’s Representatives are RATs, and in IL there are no GOP Representatives so vulnerable that registering everyone to vote could be decisive (where it could have more of an effect is in beating back potential GOP pickup opportunities in the blue-collar IL-17 and in the Chicago suburbs and exurbs).
Well I mean keeping the House in 2018 is paramount in sense of National politics..
Not sure if any of the GOP are vulnerable or not...The state went to Clinton so I would think that any GOP in districts that voted overwhelmingly for Clinton might be vulnerable...
Interestingly, one of the amendments to the bill that is allowing for automatic voter registration is that it not be implemented until 2019...just in time for the Presidential election.
I am in the process of plotting my escape from Illinois :(
