You are right. The fight is not over yet. We know the repugs are using all their voter suppression tactics because they know they can't win the election fair and square. They've lost women, Latinos, progressive whites, and you know they don't have the African American vote so they cheat. But we will fight back. Get out and work for the campaign. Volunteer a couple of hours a week, more if you can. Register voters. Do phone banking. Get involved. The repugs can only win if we sit back, do nothing, and let them.
