2. Look for voter repression bill next

That I suspect will greatly repress the vote. My guess is they will go after students (make them vote in their home towns) and absentee ballots.

Virginia (per Thom Hartmann) has a bill that will make any absentee ballot request be accompanied by some form of ID as will the actual ballot. That will greatly impinge on the elderly in particular.

We don't know if anything like that will be in Iowa's bill, but you can bet it will make it much harder to vote here.

ETA - that will make it harder for Dems to recover.
