From today's LA Times: Why Jones Won.

http://beta.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-goodman-jones-win-black-turnout-20171213-story.html#nt=oft03a-1gp2

There was one paragraph in this excellent article that brought home to me the enormity of the challenge we face in duplicating Jones' win. Here:

In Alabama, where voters must show identification at the polls, the state closed ID-issuing motor vehicle offices in multiple majority black counties. Voters overcame this structural barrier to elect Jones, and the Democratic Party can repay them by working to remove it.

It won't be easy, but we can accomplish this. Being aware of what problems exist means we can take care of them.

The whole article is worth reading and I hope you will.

OMIGOD! I can't remember when I felt this good about an election!

Time to celebrate!

Break out your favorite drink and toast the night away!

We must repeat this great victory in the midterms!
