7. I doubt that they are

planning to drop those efforts at all. As I read it, they simply want to continue and expand them to ALL 50 states, rather than simply to targeted areas as has been the case since Dr. Dean left the DNC.

I hope that they will also be helping those who do not currently have the proper sorts of ID required to vote in those states where GOP state legislatures have defined "acceptable" voter ID very narrowly in an effort to exclude minorities and other Dem-leaning voters to get IDs that will work. Another thing that is part of GOTV is organize car pools, etc. to ensure that those who do not have easy access to transportation can get to the polls to vote or at least to get an absentee ballot sent to them.

What I love is that Hillary's networks that have already been set up for the primaries will be strengthened and expanded. She doesn't have to begin at zero, the way Trump reportedly will have to since he has made the election all about HIM rather than anything else.

This is exactly how elections are won, excitement is generated, and more people are brought into the process - with boots on the ground composed of those who know the issues of concern specific to those areas. It's not simply about a charismatic national candidate, but how to strengthen and enrich ALL democratic institutions at ALL levels.
