Jim Messina: ‘If the Electorate Looks Like Normal America, Democrats Are Going to Win’

‘[Republicans] just want to make it seem incredibly difficult to vote so you won’t vote’

EXCERPT:

MESSINA: “Marc was talking about challenging 10,000 votes here, 20,000 votes there. As Marc well knows, that’s our entire margin in Georgia. That’s our entire margin in Arizona. They’re talking about taking away states. And part of what they want to do is just make this really confusing. Some of the laws you talked about passing seem normal. There were like, oh, show your driver’s license. Well, a lot of people don’t have driver’s licenses. And they just want to make it seem incredibly difficult to vote so you won’t vote. Because as Matt so well said, if the electorate looks like normal America, Democrats are going to win. And so, they cannot allow that. And part of it is threatening political violence because it makes people get nervous. It makes people feel angsty. And it causes people — you know, what — their last card they have left is fear, and they’re going to play that card everywhere they can, on every single hand at the poker table.”
