It's sad that so many states have the popular vote won by the Dems yet are still controlled by the Republicans.  The RNC did an amazing job in 2000 and 2010 with what they did, and it's going to take a long time to unwind it.  And unless they put laws and possibly state constitutional amendments in to place to prevent repeats, there's little to discourage the RNC from trying it again some time. I saw some pretty positive stories from Virginia about felons getting to vote.  That might have made a big difference in this and future elections, at least in that state.  I wonder how many countries continue to crush the civil rights of offenders who have completed their 'debt to society' like we do.  I know there is a movement in some states to remove the check box from job applications indicating that you have previous criminal convictions, I believe at least one state has passed such a bill.
