82. Fight this all the way

I would go to the news outlets, the Ohio Secretary of State and Ohio Attorney General, and the US Department of Justice. I would also go to my Senator and Congressman, local newspapers and Rev. Al Sharpton. We are NOT going to take this voter suppression lying down. Fight it. Contact everyone you can think of.
