simply because the repub gov gets to replace 3 liberal state supreme court judges for a 6-1 conservative majority on the bench (elections have consequences). the previous 4-3 liberal majority court actually stopped a lot of voter suppression in past years. now with an overwhelming conservative majority...most of that shit is gonna be rubberstamped.

winning margins in florida are already slim. even a small peel off of dem voters will have a significant impact.

(black) felons being able to vote will help dems. but the gov and repub legislature are already looking for ways to creatively undermine the amendment. and the conserv court will prolly allow it.

>we dont need all of those states that voted for trump to flip
>back but will definitely need to get some of them.

if states vote how they did in 2018...especially in the rust belt (which swung back heavily to dems outside of ohio)...then its a safe dem victory. im more worried about senate races in key red states. because a dem prez winning with a repub majority senate will pretty much be d.o.a.

>are there some states that voted for clinton that you are
>worried could flip red in 2020?

new hampshire could go red. clinton only won by 3k votes and the gov and previous legislature passed a set of laws suppressing the college vote. that could be the difference.
